Title: Applications running on top of lightning
Post by: nullama on December 09, 2021, 07:06:52 AM
I'm very interested to see all the new applications that are starting to be built on top of lightning.

One area in particular that I think will be very popular is decentralized social media/chat/file transfer. In that area, I've found Sphinx (https://sphinx.chat/), Juggernaut (https://www.getjuggernaut.com/), and Impervious (https://www.impervious.ai/). They look very promising, you can even monetize your own messages/data out of the box.

Another area that I think will be very popular is to use lnurl-auth as login instead of remembering passwords for websites. Here's one example of that: https://lightninglogin.live

By the way, this might be a good time to reserve your own lightning address (https://lightningaddress.com).

For game developers, zebedee (https://zebedee.io/developers/api) is offering an easy to use api to make money be part of the game by making micro-payments with lightning.

If you've seen any other interesting application running on top of lightning, make sure to share it here.
