Lightning is Experimental
Lightning is currently an experimental feature in the Blockstream app. By enabling Lightning through Experimental Features, you have agreed to use them at your own risk. These features might change, break or be discontinued at any time.
Our engineering teams are working on ways to improve the in-app Lightning experience for you and releasing new updates as soon as we are confident in them.
If you experience any issues with Lightning, don’t hesitate to contact our support team online or through the app.
