Lexe is a early-stage startup building the future of Bitcoin’s Lightning Network. Lightning Network adoption faces critical challenges: unreliable offline receive capabilities, expensive node hosting, and loss of self-sovereignty from custodial wallets. Lexe’s radical next-generation architecture fixes these problems by leveraging Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to create secure, always-online Lightning nodes that don’t compromise on self-custody, which comes with free node hosting, infinite liquidity, and no KYC.
