Blixt Wallet

• Name: Blixt Wallet
• URL: https://blixtwallet.github.io/
• Category: mobile Lightning wallet / lnd-on-a-phone stack
• Tags: bitcoin-ecosystem
• Summary: Blixt Wallet is basically lnd on a phone with a wallet UI attached. Real software, still a secondary note. The point is local node behavior on the handset, with LSP help mostly there to reduce setup pain.
• What it does:
  • Offers an open-source, non-custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet for Android and iOS
  • Embeds lnd together with Neutrino SPV so the app can function more like a private Lightning node than a thin remote client
  • Lets users manage Lightning channels, including auto-opening a channel with the Blixt LSP node on first on-chain funding unless the user disables that behavior
  • Includes support for Lightning Address, LNURL, WebLN, Tor, multi-part payments, transaction labeling, and local/cloud channel backups
  • Exposes a separate on-chain Bitcoin wallet view for deposits, channel opens, and channel closes, alongside the Lightning-focused main interface
  • Lets users connect to their own Bitcoin node and explicitly frames transaction broadcast as direct rather than centralized-server-mediated
• Key claims:
  • The homepage says Blixt is “a non-custodial open-source Bitcoin Lightning Wallet for Android and iOS” focused on usability and user experience
  • The homepage says Blixt is built with lnd and Neutrino, and positions automatic Lightning onboarding around receiving a payment that triggers LSP channel opening
  • The public README says Blixt is an open-source Lightning Bitcoin wallet “powered by lnd and Neutrino SPV” and lists support for LNURL, WebLN, integrated Tor, Lightning Address, cloud backups, and multi-part payments
  • The official features page says the app syncs Bitcoin headers and filters with Neutrino, can connect to the user’s own Bitcoin node, and broadcasts transactions directly into the mempool
  • The features page explicitly says “Blixt is a PRIVATE NODE,” which is a strong clue that the project is packaging Lightning-node behavior into the mobile wallet UX rather than acting as a custodial relay app
  • The public repository description says it is a “Bitcoin Lightning Wallet with focus on usability and user experience”
• Whitepaper: No canonical standalone Blixt Wallet whitepaper or litepaper surfaced in this pass. The clearest current sources of truth were the official website, feature documentation, and public repository; see ../whitepapers/blixt-wallet-primary-sources-2026-05-01.md.

Internal linkages

• Stronger mobile-Lightning anchors: phoenix-wallet, zeus, and breez.

Control surface

• Practical leverage sits in the embedded lnd and Neutrino defaults, the Blixt LSP-assisted onboarding path, and the backup choices wrapped around what is otherwise a local mobile node.

• Worth keeping, still not an anchor.
