What is a Lapp?

Lapp is short for Lightning app.

How does Lightning Auth works?

Lapps.co Lightning Auth uses your unique Lightning Node Public Key as your login.

You authenticate by providing a Lightning Payment Request which is used to validate that you have access to your Lightning Node.

Do I need a Lightning Node to login?

If you're not running your own Lightning Node or have a non-custodial Lightning wallet, you can't use Lightning Auth.

In that case, you should login using Twitter.

What can I submit to Lapps.co?

The ideal fit is any Lightning app, a product or platform that exclusively uses the Lightning Network.

However, if you have a product, store, podcast or platform that you think would be a good fit, feel free to submit it!
