The Cake Wallet announced this Monday, March 2, the official incorporation of the Bitcoin Lightning network to its platform.
The integration seeks to offer a low-cost, instant payments experience that preserves user sovereignty, eliminating the technical complexity that has historically held back the use of this second layer of Bitcoin.
According to the official statement published on the social network X, Cake Wallet will use the Spark network —a layer 2 of Bitcoin— in conjunction with the Breez SDK to facilitate transactions.
It is an architecture that makes payments work intuitivelywithout the user having to manage channels, liquidity or stay online constantly. In this way, they ensure that the non-custodial model predominates at all times; that is, the user retains full control of their private keys.
In this way, privacy becomes a central pillar of this update. This is so, since, unlike other implementations, Cake Wallet includes default settings that hide addresses Spark and prevent operations from being published to public block explorers.
From Cake Wallet they announced that the Lightning network activation is now active. For those users who wish to use this function, they only need to download the latest version of the application.
The company noted that its goal is to prevent third parties from tracking personal balances during everyday transactions, such as paying for a coffee.
In addition to the technical improvement, the update introduces customizable Lightning addresses under the domain @cake.cash. These types of addresses, which are already used by wallets like Alby, are similar to a username or email.
The app also allows for quick exchanges (swaps) entre Lightning BTC y stablecoins como USDT.
This advance in digital payments infrastructure aligns with the efforts of other financial platforms that seek to automate and simplify the flow of capitals in the modern economy through AI agentsautomated systems capable of performing tasks such as contracting services with integrated payments.
As reported by NoticiasVE, traditional payment giants such as Stripe are already integrating AI agents to facilitate global payments, where the Lightning network is emerging as the preferred network for agent operations.
