Lightning enables users to send transactions in a matter of seconds for a very small fee.<\/p>\n<p>Those transactions go through Lightning channels, which are connected through Lightning nodes.<\/p>\n<h2>Electrum operating its own node<\/h2>\n<p>What makes this upgrade important for Electrum is the fact that the wallet will be running its own node, providing its users with a gateway to the Lightning network. The company said that it has written its own implementation of the Lightning node in Python.<\/p>\n<p>The news about the introduction of Lightning was incredibly well received by the crypto community, with dozens of Twitter users praising the company for its efforts. Many users even <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/twiteis\/status\/1183722431032254464\">donated<\/a> small amounts of Bitcoin to the company via Bottle Pay, a crypto micropayment platform.<\/p>\n<p>Lightning and its implementation to Electrum was first mentioned at the beginning of July, when Russian crypto news outlet Forklog reported that Electrum founder Thomas Voegtlin said the company has been working on it for the past year. Voegtling reportedly said that the wallet's next &#8220;major upgrade&#8221; will have Lightning functionality and that it should roll out in the following months.<\/p>\n<p>However, the company is yet to release a launch date for version 3.3.9 and publish further technical details about the node.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electrum, one of the most popular Bitcoin wallets, announced that its next release will support Lightning payments.
