Jack Dorsey, who left his post as CEO of Twitter a while ago and focused on working on Spiral, the crypto currency arm of his own company Square, announced a new service called Lightning Development Kit (LDK). Describing LDK, which is prepared to speed up the Bitcoin network, as “a program that makes it easy for any developer in the world to create a wallet.” Dorsey seems to want to increase the real-world usability of Bitcoin.
One of the most important features of the Lightning Development Kit is that it supports software languages such as Swift, C and Rust in addition to Java and Kotlin. This makes it easier for developers who want to develop various cryptocurrency wallets. In addition, this development kit service can be easily integrated with mobile devices and terminals at sales points. These features of LDK mean that paying with Bitcoin in one place is just as easy as with traditional credit cards.
It will turn Bitcoin into a real payment system
Spiral engineers have been working on a payment protocol called Lightning Network for a while. This payment protocol offers a solution to Bitcoin’s scaling problem. This is where the Lightning Development Kit comes into play. Aiming to reach the widest possible audience, Spiral eliminates the need to use Bitcoin and Lightning Network wallets separately, thanks to this development kit. If the developed system enters our lives, we can easily say that the Bitcoin revolution will begin to take place then.
Spiral made a post on the subject from its official YouTube channel. In this post, we see how a puppet of Jack Dorsey benefits from the Lightning Network. In addition, information about what Bitcoin and Lightning Network will bring to our lives is also given in the video. If you wish, let’s leave you alone with that video.
