Blixt Wallet primary-source snapshot
Fetched: 2026-05-01 UTC
1) Official homepage
Source: https://blixtwallet.github.io/
Selected excerpts from the official site:
Blixt Wallet is a non-custodial open-source Bitcoin Lightning Wallet for Android and iOS with a focus on usability and user experience.
Built with lnd and Neutrino
Getting started is as easy as receiving a Lightning payment…
supporting features such as Lightning Address, LNURL and WebLN
Additional signals from the source:
- The homepage already signals that Blixt is not merely a hosted Lightning front end; it is packaging real Lightning-node behavior into a consumer wallet
- The app-store links and homepage copy show a real mobile distribution surface, while the product definition stays strongly technical
2) Official features page
Source: https://blixtwallet.github.io/features
Selected excerpts from the official site:
Blixt Wallet connects by default to the Blixt Wallet node to sync the Bitcoin blocks and indexes with Neutrino…, but users can also connect to their own Bitcoin node.
Blixt Wallet does not use any centralized servers for doing transactions, all transactions are broadcast directly from your Blixt Wallet app, into the Bitcoin mempool.
Blixt is a PRIVATE NODE…
It has a simple and easy to use interface and offers all the necessary options to receive and send sats over Lightning Network.
Additional signals from the source:
- The features page is the clearest source for the trust model: embedded Neutrino sync, optional own-node connectivity, direct broadcast, and private-channel behavior
- This page makes the “wallet-control-plane” classification much clearer than the homepage alone because it exposes channel management and node-like behavior in detail
3) Public README
Source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/master/README.md
Selected excerpts from the official repo:
Blixt Wallet is an open source Lightning Bitcoin Wallet for Android with focus on usability and user experience, powered by lnd and Neutrino SPV.
Embedded lnd with Neutrino
Integrated Tor support
LNURL support (all sub-protocols: pay, channel, auth and withdraw)
WebLN browser
Support for Multi-Part Payments (MPP)
Sending to Lightning Address
Additional signals from the source:
- The README exposes the concrete feature inventory more compactly than the homepage, especially around Tor, LNURL, WebLN, MPP, and cloud backups
- The build sections also show Blixt has web, Android, iOS, and experimental Electrobun targets, which is useful context for how the codebase is organized
4) Public repository metadata
Source: https://github.com/smolcars/blixt-wallet
Selected excerpts from the official repo metadata:
Bitcoin Lightning Wallet with focus on usability and user experience
Additional signals from the source:
- The repo topics (
bitcoin,bitcoin-wallet,lightning,lightning-network,lnd,wallet) reinforce that the project is best understood as Lightning-first Bitcoin infrastructure - The repo remains active and public, which makes it a solid primary source even without a formal whitepaper
Notes
- Blixt appears best cataloged as bitcoin-lightning wallet-control-plane / self-custodial mobile node infrastructure / Neutrino-and-lnd wallet stack.
- No canonical standalone whitepaper or litepaper surfaced in this pass.
- The most useful primary sources were the homepage, the detailed features page, the public README, and the live repo metadata.
