Best Bitcoin Projects 2024

Merry Christmas 🎄

The year is almost over and I’d be interested what Bitcoin projects you have been using a lot over the year and why you think they are awesome.

For me it’s

Aqua wallet for mobile -> extremely handy to juggle smaller sums between base chain, liquid and lightning. I always recommend it to newbies as well to take their first steps in BTC world.
Lightning authentication -> you can use Lightning also for authentication on different websites including this one. Fast and completely private. Just awesome.
LN Markets -> crypto derivatives exchange, not decentralized but no KYC and can also be used via lightning authentication

Curious to hear what you love and to discover new tools for me to try out in 2025!

https://coinos.io/ is a LN, Cashu (E-cash), Liquid, and on chain (custodial or self custodial) wallet, which is easy to set up and use for personal use or merchants (point of sell).

Nostr wallet connect (NWC). I think its a game changer. It really shows the power of LN. I hope more wallets and apps adopt it.

I agree. It makes zapping on Nostr so much easier.

AlbyHub has been a pretty amazing and simple self-hosted lightning node experience for me. I'm working on getting another computer that I can run as a phoenixd lightning node which I've heard high praise about as well.

Alby Hub is definitely one of the top releases of 2024. Such easy, open-source, self-custodial lightning node/wallet app with total NWC support is a milestone of LN

PayJoin scales Bitcoin, saves fees, and preserves privacy all at once. And it has been recently implemented in the Bull mobile wallet.

The Liquisabi coinjoin explorer is an excellent tool.

Valet♦️ because it outlived 10101 and still better than Blixt with very little maintenance.

AquaWallet launched as closed source and has shitcoins built-in. It doesn't deserve any praise tbh.

PeerSwap + PeerSwap Web UI for managing liquidity of a Lightning node.

But aqua wallet still doesn’t have lightning address support. It only supports invoice based receiving.
