We are bringing lightning-fast Bitcoin payments to 100,000 Europeans: send and receive instant payments using bitcoin's lightning network. True to Relai's ethos, our Lightning integration is non-custodial - giving you full control over your Bitcoin.
Hey PH community! 👋
We are bringing lightning fast bitcoin payments to 100,000 Europeans! ⚡⚡⚡
At Relai, we always seek ways to make "Bitcoining" easier.
And that's why we’re excited to announce the integration of Lightning Wallet into the Relai app. But how do we make this happen? We've partnered with Blockstream and Breez, Bitcoin and Lightning infrastructure leaders.
What's Lightning, you might ask?
The Lightning Network (LN) is an innovative system that makes Bitcoin transactions fast. Like, real fast.
Here are the benefits Lightning brings:
- Fast and cheap microtransactions
- It's better for the Bitcoin network. Because it reduces the number of transactions processed on the main Bitcoin blockchain
This means Relai users can now send and receive Bitcoin faster AND cheaper. All of this without compromising the principles of decentralization.
Basically, Lightning is magic 🪄
What are the key benefits of Lighting for YOU as a Relai user?
⚡ Lightning fast payments - Bitcoin transactions with Relai are now super-fast!
🫰 Reduced Fees - Cheap micropayments
🏦 Non-Custodial - You are always in full control of your funds

Please note: the Relai app is available on Android across 23 European countries, the iOS app is currently available in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy and France.
THANK YOU everyone for the amazing feedback so far.
Also a big shoutout to our partners Breez and Blockstream, who have been amazing throughout, helping us launching a non-custodial lightning solution.
It's pretty clear by now that the future of Bitcoin transactions is L2's like Lightning.
That's why we're launching this feature for our 100,000 active users!
Hey Imo, this is an exciting leap for Bitcoin enthusiasts in Europe! The move towards non-custodial lightning fast transactions is a game-changer. It's impressive that you've partnered with Blockstream and Breez to make this happen. I'm curious, what has been the biggest challenge in integrating the Lightning Network into the Relai app? Keep up the great work!
Hey @imobbcs I love Relai Lightning Wallet's approach to seamless Bitcoin transactions! The non-custodial feature is a game changer, ensuring users have full control.
Have you considered integrating educational tools within the app to help new users understand the lightning network better? This could make the technology more accessible and boost adoption :)
The power of Lightning is here! I've been using the Beta of the feature, zapping friends around the globe, paying for coffee and orange pilling people. Get on it now! ⚡️
Relai already was the best European app around for buying, selling and setting up a DCA plan on Bitcoin.
Now that the lightning network has also been integrated, it will be impossible to match Relai ⚡
Great idea of integrating lightning in a non-custodial way, directly from your Relai app! Looking forward swapping onchain btc into lightning sats and spend them easily from the app.
The evolving potential of micropayments is a significant development, crucial for bringing Bitcoin into practical use with real-world usability. Thank you for highlighting and contributing to this exciting advancement!
Being a 'Bitcoin maximalist' my self, I've chosen Relai because it is the obvious reason.
