🌊 #006 Feel the Breez
It's graduation for the class of Q1.
Welcome back friends! We’ve made it to the end of March, congratulations. Here’s what we’ve got to share this month:
🎓 The SDK Class of Q1
🤓 Back to School with Antonio
⚡️ Lightning is Everywhere
🎙️ Shooting the Breez with Danny, Umi & Roy
The SDK Class of Q1 2025 🎓
We’ve been talking a lot about momentum at Breez and we’re seeing it build every day. More partners are adding Bitcoin payments with our SDK and more sats are moving freely around the world. By offering the choice of two implementations, Nodeless and Native, we’re truly building the best Lightning developer experience out there.
And the momentum just keeps growing stronger.
In fact, we’ve welcomed so many new partners that we had to bundle them all into one big announcement — it’s our pleasure to welcome the SDK Class of Q1 2025: Assetify, Cowbolt, DexTrade, Flash, Lightning Pay, OpenAgents, Satoshi, Shakesco, Tidebinder, and ZapZap.
Back to School with Antonio 🚌
We tell everyone we meet that adding Bitcoin payments to apps is really easy with the Breez SDK. But rather than just tell you this, we’ve decided to show you.
Antonio, one of our talented developers at Breez, has produced a video tutorial showing how you can add Bitcoin payments to React Native and Expo apps with the Breez SDK - Nodeless.
Join him as he guides you through each step and shows that it really is that easy to add Bitcoin payments to any app with our SDK.
Lightning is Everywhere.
It’s true — Lightning is everywhere.
Bitcoin payments aren’t just a thing for the few, they’re for the many.
This month, we’re showcasing our friends at Cowbolt. They’ve just released their collaborative cost-splitting, team-chat, and self-custody app (check it out).
PS: If you want to collaborate with us (see what I did there?) — just get in touch to add Bitcoin payments to your app.
Shooting the Breez 🌬️
Since releasing our Bitcoin payment report — where we explained that Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold, it’s a thriving everyday currency accessible to millions of people around the world — Bitcoin payments have been the talk of the town.
As co-author of the report, I joined the Stephan Livera Podcast to discuss the growing trend in more detail. I also met up with Bo Jablonski to explain why more and more apps are taking notice on the newly-formed Guardians of Bitcoin radio show.
Developments have come thick and fast over the past month — most notably, the announcement of USDT coming to Lightning (check out Roy’s take on the good, the bad, and the unknown in Bitcoin Magazine). Breez’s BD Lead, Umi, joined a Spaces on X with UXTO, Amboss, and Lightning Labs to discuss the stablecoin’s imminent arrival on the network.
That’s not all from Umi, she also joined her alma mater at the Cornell Bitcoin Club to explain why bitcoin is a medium of exchange, thanks to Lightning.
And last but not least, Roy was spreading the good word of Bitcoin, joining Bitfinex’s podcast to explain how Lightning is truly changing the game.
And there we go folks, another edition of Feel the Breez has come to a close.
As always, we’ll leave you with our usual parting comment: the best time to get into Lightning is now — it always has been.
Stay tuned for exciting announcements we’ll be releasing soon.
Until next time ✌️
