What's the difference from this to Umbrel OS LN Node?
reply
Lightning implementations
  • LND by Lightning Labs
  • CLN by Blockstream
  • LDK by Spiral
UmbrelOS = Plug + play or DIY

What differs from each implementation? Why are there multiple? I'm still new to LN.

If you would like to read about how LDK's implementation of the lightning network is unique and trying to optimise for mobile environments check out this post.
It's a developer library designed to run at the application layer. It's specifically designed and optimized to run on mobile phones with the ability to lightly customise things e.g uses RGS (rapid gossip sync), esplora (getting blockchain data) etc
We've also enabled developers on multiple platforms to utilise this through language bindings in Kotlin (Android), Swift (iOS), Python and more.
