Lightning Network implementations are compatible with both Bitcoin and Litecoin. Litecoin adopted Segwit on 10 May 2017, before Bitcoin.First Litecoin MainNet PaymentAt 1 September 2017, First Litecoin MainNet Lightning Network payment channel was open between Charlie Lee and Jack Mallers.Cross-chain atomic swapAt 16 November 2017, lightning labs announced Instant Cross-Chain Transactions On LightningIn other words: Alice and Bob will be able to exchange BTC for LTC instantly, without requiring trusted third parties, using “atomic” transactions (i.e. either Bob gets his LTC and Alice gets her BTC, or nothing is transferred). The experiment in the post shows the first Lightning atomic swap in to receive 100 Satoshis in exchange for Litoshis.Litecoin MainNetNowadays, I could easily find Lightning nodes on Bitcoin TestNet and MainNet to connect with. Software and tools (as wallet, explorer and so on) are available on Bitcoin. On Litecoin, I didn’t found a node list, so I adapted #recksplorer on Litecoin available at https://recksplorer.ltc.lightshift.io/.Running Litecoin Lightning nodeThe three main Lightning implementations support Litecoin both on MainNet and TestNet. There are lots of guides to install and run Lightning software. In this article, I describe how to set a Lightning node to run on top of Litecoin.CLightninghttps://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoinCLightning, Lightning Network implementation in C, uses the standard Bitcoin core and Litecoin core, for Litecoin (https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin).In May 2017, Christian Decker published a working example at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baHHMNA8yf4 .Run on Litecoin TestNet:$ litecoind --testnet$ lightningd --network litecoin-testnetRun on Litecoin MainNet:$ litecoind$ lightningd --network litecoinLndhttps://github.com/lightningnetwork/lndLnd, Lightning Network Daemon wrote in GoLang, uses the btcd and ltcd,
