Blogs & Articles: BitBox Chooses Breez SDK for Lightning Integration 🔗 29 weeks ago

Great hardware needs great software needs great hardware. BitBox, which Business Insider has called the “Best bitcoin wallet for beginners,” is renowned for the peerless quality, unparalleled usability, and industry-defining security of its hardware wallet. But they too have realized that Lightning is the tech that makes bitcoin into a true medium of exchange, and they have chosen the Breez SDK to bring Lightning to their app and their users.

BitBox and Breez are kindred spirits when it comes to the values and utility of bitcoin: both companies are committed to giving users maximum sovereignty with minimal trust and a seamless experience. So when searching for a way to integrate Lightning into their hardware wallet’s companion app, BitBox has naturally opted for the Breez SDK.

The Breez SDK is the obvious choice because it provides everything BitBox and their users need right out of the … box:

• fully non-custodial, with users remaining exclusively and permanently in control of their own keys
• a built-in LSP to ensure optimal connectivity with the entire Lightning Network and instant, automatic in-bound liquidity
• completely free and open code
• full interoperability with any app and platform

As Douglas Bakkum, BitBox CEO, put it,

At BitBox, we want to enable the simplest bitcoin experience for our users at every step of their journey — from buying their first sats to holding funds long term and using bitcoin for day-to-day spending. With the Breez SDK, we can give our users a perfectly integrated Lightning experience that would not have been possible before.

Lightning functionality in the BitBox app is still in the pre-beta, MVP stage. But with the help of the Breez SDK, BitBox is looking to turn this experiment into a standard feature that no hardware wallet can do without.
