We’re thrilled to announce that LNSOV Bridge is now available on mainnet!

The LNSOV Bridge allows you to complete trustless swaps between RBTC and LN-BTC⚡. You can do this at https://lnsov.vercel.app/ without having to use any centralized exchange or third-party service provider, which means the only person who needs to be trusted is yourself!

RBTC-BTC⚡ Bridge is live on mainnet!

This also means no personal information is necessary, as there’s no middleman involved in the process of completing your transaction with another user.

This was done as part of the LNSOV Bridge Grant Proposal which aims to build an open-source, fully working, decentralized, and well-documented submarine swap implementation that supports RBTC and SOV to Bitcoin on Lightning and Bitcoin on Lightning to RBTC and SOV that can be deployed by anyone.

How to Swap?

  1. Go to the new LNSOV Bridge here.
  2. Choose the token you would like to send (RBTC/LN-BTC) and receive.
  3. Set the amount.
  4. Follow the rest of the steps on the bridge.

The Swapper Tool

We also developed a swapper tool that aims to make life easier for bridge operators by automatically managing RBTC/LN liquidity. You can read more on the repo, but it will help balance funds in wallets so swaps towards both sides succeed.
