If you aren't ready to run your own Bitcoin or Lightning node at home or need a more reliable node to run accept payments, creating a non-custodial Lightning node on Voltage is a good option.

Step 1: for a Voltage Lightning account and create a lightning node.

1) the Alby Browser Extension in your browser and add your new Voltage node

2) Click "Connect" to "Other Wallets"

3) Select LND

4) Enter the credentials provided by Voltage

Click on "Continue". Congrats you successfully connected your own to the Alby Extension 🚀

Or select "Request Channel" in your Voltage.cloud dashboard. This action will open a channel to your node. Afterwards you can deposit up to 500,000 sats to your node.

Congrats you are almost ready to spend from your own node with the Alby Extension 🚀

Follow this guide to top up your balance:

Step 4: If you don't have a lightning channel yet, you can follow to fund your node and open your first channel to send and receive bitcoin payments on the lightning network.

If you need help, send us an anytime!
