It says more than that. Bindings, LNURL, Lightning addresses etc.
It's a private beta for selected partners atm. You can email us or fill out the form if your interested.
We're in a private beta right now: https://breez.technology/spark/
I think I'm following my own advice, I just allow myself to use the best tools for the job and acknowledging there's no one size fits all when it comes to last mile solutions.
Lightspark started a Lightning SaaS, hence the name. Spark evolved internally, and it's a play on the company's name.
Live-ness if someone is trying to cheat you mean. But, you can receive payments when you're offline...
You really don't need me to explain the UX advantages of not using channels, right?
You lost me with "just another centralized exchange"... If want to have a technical discussion, let's have one, but shouting "scam" on everything that isn't using a channel, comparing it to a centralized exchange is just nonsense.
- LOL, if Lightning is your definition of L2, yes, ofc everything else is "fake".
- If a prior owner of a Spark leaf broadcasts a branch, yes, the owner needs to publish theirs (or delegate it to a watchtower). It's not different than Lightning in that regard.
- SO acts as a watchtower, and you can have a watchtower outside of the SE.
- What you call marketing, is using simple terms to explain the tech. Read our documentation, my articles, etc. We're trying to be as accurate as possible. "Trustodial" in that regard isn't intuitive. It's actually the exact opposite from what the solution trying to do. I, btw, like the differentiation between non-custodial (can be trustodial) and self-custodial (self sufficient), but you need to keep in mind these are all regulatory terms.
- Define L2, then explain why it's "fake".
- "Debunked": by who? how? The too small amount is also an issue if you want to close a Lightning channel. Same for live-ness. You can have a watchtower with spark as well. Not to mention the SO are inherently acting as watchtowers.

Trustodial is the worst term ever to describe a trust minimized solution. Spark is better than Liquid. It's Bitcoin and it has unilateral exit.
- Relai was an early adaptor of Greenlight. There were issues in both the way it was implemented by Relai and in the Greenlight infrastructure itself.
- How do you expect users to use it if it was never integrated into the broker services? Buying on-chain and converting to Lightning will ofc create unnecessary friction.
- We (Breez) learned a lot by this and actually developed our Nodeless SDK (which is being used by 90% of our partners) as a result. It provides predictable fees and a better UX compared to Greenlight.
Great stuff @kepford 👏👏👏
Since we 100% agree on the bottom line, the rest is kinda semantics lol (but we can definitely discuss it if you want).
