Lightning⚡ is best known as a network for fast bitcoin payments. But what if the same infrastructure could also carry private messages?
That’s the idea behind onion messages🧅. They rely on onion encryption, a technique where data is wrapped in multiple layers of encryption, like layers of an onion. As the message travels through the network, each node removes just one layer, learning only where the message came from and where it should go next. No single node ever sees the full route or the original sender and final recipient.
In this article, @Thevelopher explores how onion messages work, how they differ from traditional payment routing, and how they’re being implemented in LND. The piece also looks at why this small protocol change could turn Lightning into more than just a payment network.
If you’re curious about how Lightning might evolve into a private communication layer, read the full blog to learn more: blog.btrust.tech/onion-messages…

@robin_linus At first I thought you were just showing off your MacBook

@bluewalletio @ge3onim0 No, but I'd like to see self-custody Lightning in BlueWallet.

@robin_linus @nvk Based purely on the argument of network effects, I would say that stablecoins on Bitcoin would have a stronger impact than more block space.
Perhaps we should analyze what drives people to use other chains and see if that’s also possible on Bitcoin.
English

@nvk Ideally, the next block would confirm all 20,000+ transactions currently waiting in the mempool.
I think that would maximize network effects and, in turn, drive greater demand for future transactions.

@francispouliot_ @jamesob To provide more blockspace for private ShieldedCSV transactions it suffices to do a softfork as you need only arbitrary block space, i.e., no non-witness data.

Great experience at the Swiss Bitcoin Conference
Thanks for the invitation to the @Swissbitcoincon, it was a great experience for us at DFX, especially for our CEO Cyrill.
We appreciated the engaging discussions around $Bitcoin, crypto payments, and the future of digital assets. Events like this are important to drive real-world adoption in to the Crypto space.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again next year!

My dad always said, "you need the right tool for the job." Even for homework he'd make sure I had my ruler, compass, protractor, calculator, whatever I needed.
I bring that same standard to my team at @cakewallet. No one is ever short on the tools they need to do great work, hardware or software.
That's why we're putting together a dedicated AI budget. Because in 2026, AI is the essential tool.
