At Synonym we are thrilled to officially release Bitkit, our flagship product designed to empower users with true financial sovereignty. Bitkit is a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet leveraging the Lightning Network for instant payments without relying on third-party custodians. Your private keys never leave your device, ensuring that only you have access to your funds. We built Bitkit on open-source principles, prioritizing transparency and community involvement. During our beta phase, many users and developers contributed by flagging issues, helping us make Bitkit more stable and secure. Self-custody is the cornerstone of our philosophy because controlling your own money shouldn't be optional. It's a fundamental right. Bitkit puts you in charge, minimizing risks like exchange hacks and custodian malpractices and enabling permissionless transactions. Looking forward to your feedback, and let's keep pushing Bitcoin payments forward together.

@devindsgbyq Fees are the same for everyone, LN fees are super low. Sometimes les than a cent.

Where’s the source code? Has it been audited? No offence, but no one is going to transfer all their BTC into your wallet simply because it is self-custodial. That doesn’t mean safe.

Congrats on the launch! Does Bitkit offer any unique features for managing both Bitcoin and Lightning transactions within the same app? How does it ensure the security of users' funds?

@zane12580 Hi. Yup, your funds are in your control 100%, since you get the keys right after creating the wallet. We also have the feature to move money back-and-forth from on-chain (savings) to Lightning (spending) super easy + coin control.

@renchu_song Fees are all the same for everyone on the Lightning Network. So basically near zero % fees.

Hey Jacobo, love the idea of Bitkit! Super interested in the self-custody feature. Quick question though - does the Lightning Network integration mean I can make payments instantly with no fees? Keep up the great work!

@robertthomas2 Thanks Rob. Yeah, instant payments with "minimal fees", usually around 0.0001% to 0.001% of the transaction amount.
