✅ Day 3 of our Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Kisumu, Kenya. Today was all about the Lightning Network. We explored how Lightning works under the hood, covering payment channels, liquidity, routing, invoices, HTLCs, and the role Lightning plays in enabling instant, low cost Bitcoin payments at scale. Participants gained a deeper understanding of how Lightning extends Bitcoin and unlocks entirely new possibilities for payments and financial innovation. Of course, the learning didn't stop at theory. We got hands on, giving participants the opportunity to interact with Lightning tools and apply the concepts they had learned. We were also joined by some incredible guests. A special thank you to @BrindonMwiine for stopping by and inspiring the developers with his insights, experience, and encouragement. Shoutout to @colmwanga for showcasing what's possible when building on Lightning through real world products like Minmo, BitSacco, and Fedi. Demonstrations like these help bridge the gap between learning the technology and seeing its impact in the real world. Finally, none of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors. Thank you to @btrustteam, @HRF, @Tether_Africa, @Zone01Kisumu, @LakeHub @afribitcoiners, and @planb_network for investing in the next generation of Bitcoin and Lightning developers across Africa. 🚀
