Mixin Launches Bitcoin Lightning Network Support, Bringing Instant BTC Payments Into Its Wallet

Hong Kong, China, May 22nd, 2026, Chainwire

Mixin today announced the launch of Bitcoin Lightning Network support, enabling users to send, receive, and manage Lightning BTC directly inside the Mixin app.

The integration brings Lightning payments into Mixin’s wallet experience, allowing users to make Bitcoin transfers without managing nodes, payment channels, or complex Lightning configurations. Each Mixin user also receives a free Lightning Address, such as [email protected], creating a reusable Bitcoin payment identity for everyday transactions.

Bitcoin Payments Inside the Mixin App

With Lightning Network support, users can now access Bitcoin payment functionality directly in Mixin, including:

• Sending and receiving Lightning BTC
• Making near-instant BTC transfers with lower network costs
• Using a reusable Lightning Address for payments
• Accessing Lightning payments without running nodes or managing channels

This makes Bitcoin payments easier to use for real-world scenarios such as peer-to-peer transfers, cross-border payments, tipping, creator payments, community transactions, and merchant acceptance.

Free Lightning Address for Every User

Mixin now provides every user with a free Lightning Address, such as [email protected].
