River Is Working on Non-Custodial No KYC Lightning Payments Solution for Developers
River said the company is working on a solution which will 'drastically reduce friction required to build on Lightning.'

- "We're working on an upgrade to River Lightning that will allow any developer globally (non-custodial/no-KYC) to signup and start programmatically sending and receiving Lightning payments within minutes, drastically reducing the friction required to build on LN," said River CEO Alexander Leishman on X.
- "We've been working on some cool tech for the past year that will power this. We will be sharing more in the months to come."
- Leishman also confirmed the solution in the works is being built with Lightning Dev Kit (LDK).
