Phoenix is a Bitcoin wallet developed by ACINQ, that allows you to send and receive bitcoins securely over the Lightning Network. It is self-custodial, which means that you hold the keys of the wallet. It provides a simple and clean UX. Thanks to native Lightning support, payments are faster and cheaper.

Build and test Phoenix
Phoenix is currently separated into two codebases:
- the legacy Android app, found in the
phoenix-legacyfolder, using our own Scala eclair-core library for Lightning. Instructions to build this app are provided here - the iOS app found in the
phoenix-iosfolder, using our own Kotlin MultiPlatform lightning-kmp library for Lightning. Instructions to build this app are provided here
The phoenix-android folder contains the new Android app that shares code with the iOS app and use lightning-kmp. This app is not ready yet. It will eventually replace the legacy Android app.
