@maxfangx and I been cooking a little somethin 👀 It's a new kind of lightning wallet ⚡️ that runs in a secure enclave in the cloud. We never see your keys. Receive payments whenever. Never think about channels again. Check it out : )

Announcing Buy with Cash App! Buy Bitcoin instantly, directly into your self-custodial Lexe Wallet. @CashApp charges <1% fees and sends the Bitcoin directly into your wallet via the Lightning Network. Watch the full flow in 20 seconds:

Introducing the Lexe CLI. Only three commands to a self-custodial mainnet Lightning wallet: $ curl -fsSL lexe.app/install-cli.sh | bash $ lexe init $ lexe create-invoice It runs in an enclave, is always online, is hosted for free, and only you hold the keys. 20 second demo 👇

Announcing the first ever public release of Lexe Wallet on the App Store and Google Play! This release comes with new features and fresh SDKs for creating and controlling self-custodial Lightning wallets - real channels managed by always-online Lightning nodes running inside secure hardware. In the video below, we open a Python shell and hand-type commands to create a self-custodial Lightning wallet on Bitcoin mainnet, fund it, and make payments - in just 3 minutes. Full announcement in the next post 👇

We just released a new AI prompt that takes you from a completely empty @Replit instance to mainnet Lightning payments in just three prompts, now with webhooks for instant notifications. 0 to Lightning in 3 prompts, 3 minutes. 0 to Lightning app in 6 prompts, 7 minutes. Watch:

Lexe now supports BIP 177! Everywhere in our app, we now use the Bitcoin symbol ₿ instead of the word "sats". See the before and after of our amount input page - we believe the new design is just cleaner, and ₿ is the future. Update Lexe to app-v0.8.7 22 to enjoy BIP177!

Announcing Lexe's Sidecar SDK! First revealed at the @PresidioBitcoin hackathon, Lexe's Sidecar SDK makes it extremely easy to build apps which send and receive Lightning 24/7. Here's a video of Lexe dev @phlip9 vibe coding a Lightning tip page in less than 3 minutes: 🚀⏩

We just published v0.4.0, our first bit-for-bit reproducible node release, along with build instructions! 257 million 1s and 0s, 100% of which you can independently recreate on your own machine 🤯 We encourage you to try reproducing the node yourself! github.com/lexe-app/lexe-pub…
