There are a variety of Bitcoin and Lightning wallets that meet different requirements. Here you will find a selection of wallets with which we have had good experiences to date.
Unfortunately, a Lightning address is not yet available via every Lightning wallet, and especially with those wallet apps that we consider very good because you hold your own keys, such as Phoenix Wallet, unfortunately not yet available.
If you have your own Lightning Node (a network node), you can create a Lightning address; there are some good instructions for this on the internet. Node operators are usually power users anyway, who can manage this without our help. The Zeus app is particularly suitable for creating your own node on the go!
Here you can find services that help you get a Lightning address: The Lightning Address
For those who want to make things easier and are aware of the risks of using a custodial wallet (a wallet where the provider manages the cryptographic keys), we recommend these 3 custodial wallets, among others:
Wallet of Satoshi - one of the best-known custodial lighting wallets
Blink Wallet - former Bitcoin Beach Wallet
Alby - perfect on desktops, but can also be linked to mobile wallets
As mentioned, please note that in some cases you will have to trust a third party.
Of course, we are working on being able to process normal Lightning Invoices in the future. The integration will be gradually expanded, but for now we are happy to be one of the first Bitcoin brokers to offer Lightning purchases to our customers!
No wallet is perfect
