LIGHTNING LABS URGES SECURITY UPDATES New releases from @lightning for lnd and other tools block trust in compromised certificate keys. Operators must replace binaries or rebuild; updating Go alone does not patch installed software. Read more here: thedefiant.io/news/security/…

Lightning Labs Urges Immediate Updates Over Certificate Vulnerability

Lightning Labs urges lnd, btcd, Taproot Assets and Lightning Terminal users to install rebuilt binaries over CVE-2026-111943.

Building a payment feature should start with a working payment. 🤝 Too often, it starts with infrastructure setup, scattered documentation, and translating examples into your app. We’re building Voltage to shorten the distance from an idea to a Lightning payment you can verify. 🧵

Soap has added Lightning payments through Voltage. Merchants can now offer Lightning in Soap's checkout while Voltage handles the infrastructure behind the experience. A practical path for payment platforms to add an open payment rail.

LayerTree from @roasbeef can be fully implemented with just these general-purpose opcodes, with rather good performance. OP_TX is not needed in the CCV tier.

Introducing LayerTree, a non-custodial scaling solution on bitcoin that connects to Lightning. Using covenants, one UXTO can be shared by a million users. Any user can leave at any time in a single transaction. Users don't need to be online to receive. Funds never time out. LayerTree is the next step in bringing bitcoin to billions.

💥 NEW: Lightning Labs Unveils Layertree: Millions Could Share One Bitcoin Output > Lightning Labs CTO Olaoluwa Osuntokun published a 103-page paper on the design > One shared output holds everyone's funds, tracked in a Merkle-sum tree off-chain > Anyone can exit alone in one transaction, the operator cannot block it or seize funds > Joining in a group of about 1,000 costs less than 1 virtual byte per member > The catch: it needs Bitcoin opcodes that are proposed but not yet activated
