What is… Core-Lightning?

C-lightning is a specification compliant Lightning Network implementation in the language of C.

C-lightning is a lightweight, highly customizable and standard-compliant implementation of the Lightning Network protocol.
C-lightning only works on Linux and Mac OS, and requires a locally (or remotely) running groestlcoind (version 2.16.0 or above) that is fully caught up with the network you’re testing on.

Features

• Ability to create Lightning channels.
• Ability to close Lightning channels.
• Completely managing all Lightning channel states (including the exceptional ones!).
• Ability to perform pathfinding within the network, passively forwarding incoming payments.
• You can send outgoing onion-encrypted payments through the network.
• Automatic channel management (autopilot).
