Phoenix
Lightning-native self-custodial Bitcoin wallet by ACINQ. Automatic channel management, Bolt12, taproot channels. Simple unified balance. iOS and Android.
Phoenix is a self-custodial, Lightning-native Bitcoin wallet developed by ACINQ, the team behind the Eclair Lightning implementation. It abstracts away all channel management complexity: channels are opened, spliced, and closed automatically in the background, so users interact with a single simple Bitcoin balance. Phoenix supports Bolt12 (static, reusable payment requests that do not expire), taproot channels (approximately 15% cheaper and more private), and the open LSP protocol for interoperability with other Lightning service providers. Phoenix is non-custodial: you hold your own keys and can export them at any time. Incoming Lightning payments carry a small fee to cover channel liquidity costs. Open source under the Apache 2.0 license on GitHub. Available on iOS and Android.
