How does Blitz use Ecash?
Blitz Wallet uses Liquid-to-Lightning and Lightning-to-Liquid swaps through Boltz until a Lightning channel is open. Currently, the minimum swap amount is 1,000 satoshis, or 0.00001 Bitcoin. In many cases, this is too expensive and excludes users from making transactions. To address this, Blitz Wallet uses eCash to send and receive Lightning payments under 1,000 sats.
