Description
Your first step towards autonomy on Lightning
You've already acquired your first sats, secured your self-custody funds and deployed a Bitcoin node to be sovereign in your on-chain usage. The next step is to gain the same autonomy on Lightning: that's precisely the aim of this course.
LNP202 is aimed at intermediate users, and guides you step-by-step through the deployment of your first Lightning node, without advanced technical skills.
You'll learn how to install LND on Umbrel, open and manage your channels, supervise your node and connect a mobile wallet, so you can enjoy an experience comparable to that of a custodial wallet, while retaining total control over your funds.
