Exolix Integrates BTC Lightning with the Breez SDK

Exolix is thrilled to introduce the integration of the Bitcoin Lightning Network with the Breez SDK's Spark implementation. This update enables ultra-fast and low-fee Bitcoin swaps for Exolix users. This positions Exolix among the rare breed of crypto exchange services that offer Lightning Network transactions in a completely non-custodial environment, where the user is in full control of their funds at all times.

With the integration of the Lightning Network into the Exolix widget, Bitcoin transactions are now faster and more economical. This is because users can take advantage of Spark and the Lightning Network for near-instant routing, unlike the conventional Bitcoin network that requires waiting for blocks or paying high fees when the network is congested. This is ideal for the busy and active cryptocurrency user who values speed and efficiency in their transactions.

This integration is a testament to Exolix's dedication to providing the latest cryptocurrency infrastructure while maintaining simplicity, privacy, and usability for all users.

How BTC Lightning at Exolix Works

Using Bitcoin Lightning on Exolix has been made as simple as possible. Thanks to the native Bitcoin L2, Spark, there are no channels to set up, no nodes to configure, and no software downloads necessary. It is all done behind the scenes through Breez's infrastructure while users can swap just like they always have.

To swap BTC using Lightning on Exolix:

1. Open Exolix widget and select BTC.

2. Select Lightning as your network option.

3. Enter your receiving address and transaction information.

4. Swap and send your BTC using Lightning.

From this point on, your transaction will go through the Lightning Network and settle almost immediately. The process is exactly like any normal Exolix swap but much quicker and cheaper due to using this new technology.

Exolix has now enabled fast Bitcoin transactions for all users without any complexity or learning curve involved.

Benefits of Using BTC Lightning and Spark at Exolix

Adding Lightning Network support with the Breez SDK and Spark completely redefines how users can move their Bitcoin on Exolix. Transactions are faster, cheaper, and more flexible, all while maintaining the non-custodial nature of the platform.

Instant Transaction Speed

Spark and the Lightning Network allows for the fast transfer of Bitcoin, which is final in just a few seconds. There is no waiting for confirmation or reliance on network congestion factors, making it great for fast swaps, instant transfers, and real-time transactions where every second counts.

Lower Transaction Costs

The fees associated with Spark and the Lightning Network are much lower compared to traditional Bitcoin fees. Even in periods of high network congestion on the main Bitcoin network, Lightning Network is a cost-effective way for users to exchange their BTC on Exolix, maximizing the amount sent in each swap, even for small or frequent transfers.

Non-Custodial Execution

Just like standard exchanges on Exolix, Lightning-based swaps operate with complete user control. Exolix does not hold user funds, maintain balances, or store private keys. Combined with Breez's self-custodial infrastructure, Lightning transactions remain trustless and secure at every stage.

Together, these advantages bring a new level of efficiency and usability to Bitcoin swaps on Exolix, making Lightning a powerful alternative to traditional on-chain transfers.

What This Integration Bring to Users

The integration of BTC Lightning with the Breez SDK and Spark represents a major milestone in the development of Exolix, enabling fast, affordable, and secure transactions between users across the globe. The integration of Exolix's non-custodial exchange model and Breez's state-of-the-art Lightning Network represents one of the most streamlined and efficient methods of transferring BTC between networks.

The integration of the Lightning Network into the swap widget enables users to benefit from instant transactions, low fees, and a seamless experience without compromising security and anonymity. The integration represents a major step in Exolix's mission to provide users with a streamlined experience in exchanging cryptocurrencies, leveraging the most advanced and innovative technologies that the Bitcoin Network has to offer.
