Developed by the French blockchain-start-up ACINQ, the Eclair wallet appeared in the Google Play app store.
Thus, the implementation of the Lightning Network protocol for the main bitcoin network was first made available for Android OS 5.0 and higher devices.
"Eclair Wallet is a new-generation bitcoin purse that can work on the Lightning protocol. It can be used as a regular bitcoin-purse, and can also be connected to the Lightning Network to make cheap and fast payments, "the application describes.
The source code and detailed information about Eclair's purse is available on GitHub.
At the time of publication, 1343 Lightning Nodes operate in the main bitcoin network, connected by 3,890 payment channels, through which a total of $ 61,776 (about 9 BTC) of crypto currency is transferred.
