Morning ☕️

Cake Wallet just made self-custodial Lightning as simple as on-chain Bitcoin. No channels, no liquidity management, no extra seed backup. Just a toggle. On FTF 32, Seth demos the whole thing live and goes deep on the technical decisions -- Spark's statechain model, privacy improvements over Wallet of Satoshi's implementation, why Arc wasn't the right fit for mobile, and what blind signing could mean for future privacy. The practical takeaway: "if you can write down 12 words, you can use Lightning now. And you don't need a custodial wallet to do it." https://fountain.fm/episode/1naDlyrnaviumQ8iB2oa @MaxUM @Seth For Privacy @Ungovernable Misfits #FREEDOMTECHFRIDAY

FTF 32 is out! Cake Wallet shipped self-custodial Lightning in version 6.0, powered by Spark. Seth walks through everything: the journey from scrapping their LDK implementation to choosing Spark, how the privacy model works (VPN-style -- Spark operators see your transactions but nothing is published publicly), why they chose Spark over Ark, and the path to blind signing that could give near-Monero-level privacy to Lightning transactions. The live demo is worth watching on its own. Every Bitcoin wallet in Cake is now a Lightning wallet at a toggle. Same seed, no channel management, no force closes, fee-less on-chain deposits. One listener literally opened a Cake Wallet during the show. Max called it "even me proof" which is honestly the best endorsement. The Spark vs Arc comparison is the most balanced take I have heard on this -- Seth gives Arc credit while being honest about the mobile trade-offs. And the section on whether Spark qualifies as self-custodial is worth the listen whether you agree or not. Listen here:

"If you can save 12 words, you can use Lightning now." Seth breaks down why Cake Wallet's new Lightning integration -- powered by Spark -- could finally shift Lightning from 95% custodial to meaningfully self-custodial. No channels, no node, no force closes. One listener opened a wallet during the live demo. Full episode:

Cake Wallet shipped self-custodial Lightning this week. Built on Spark. No channels to manage, but what are the trade-offs? Get your questions 👇 On Friday we're going deep: how Spark's statechain model actually works, what the trust assumptions are, and Seth from Cake Wallet demos the whole thing live. 9AM EST / 2PM UK. Live on the Ungovernable Misfits feed. @MaxUM @Seth For Privacy @Ungovernable Misfits #FREEDOMTECHFRIDAY

So many things to build. So few hours in the day. ☕️ GM folks ✌️

This week on #FreedomTechFriday we're covering the new Cake Wallet Lightning release and we've got Seth doing a full live demo. Here's why this one matters: Cake didn't just bolt on a custodial Lightning service. They built on Spark, a statechain-based Bitcoin L2 that gives users self-custody without the usual Lightning pain points. No channel management, no liquidity headaches, no running a node. We'll cover how Spark actually works (including the trust trade-offs), what makes this different from Phoenix or Zeus, and Seth will demo the full flow live on screen. Wallet of Satoshi just moved to Spark too, so the bigger question is whether this becomes the default Lightning experience. Live Friday, 9AM EST / 2PM UK on the Ungovernable Misfits feed. Drop your questions 👇 @MaxUM @Seth For Privacy @Ungovernable Misfits #FREEDOMTECHFRIDAY
