Phoenix
Self-custodial Lightning wallet by ACINQ. Designed to abstract channel management from the user while keeping keys on-device.
Key Features
- Automatic channel creation and management (no manual liquidity setup)
- Trampoline routing for reliable payments
- On-chain swap-in and swap-out
- Non-custodial: keys remain on device
RoboSats Compatibility
- Good UX overall
- Caution for makers: maker bond duration must be set to < 10 hours due to Phoenix's internal channel management constraints
- Works well for buyers with standard duration settings
