Fedi has launched a Mini App integration with Exolix, introducing Lightning Network-powered Bitcoin swaps directly within its privacy-focused wallet ecosystem. The update allows users to execute near-instant BTC swaps without leaving the app, marking a move toward faster and more accessible crypto transactions. The integration is built on Lightning Network infrastructure and supports non-custodial asset exchange across supported blockchain networks.
Enabling instant Lightning-powered Bitcoin swaps means using tools that convert regular Bitcoin transactions into the Lightning Network so transfers can happen almost instantly with very low fees. This is done by using wallets or services that support “swap-in” and “swap-out” features, which move Bitcoin between the main blockchain and Lightning without needing slow confirmations for each payment.
To enable it, users typically rely on Lightning-enabled wallets like Xverse, Breez, or Phoenix, or swap services such as Boltz and FixedFloat. Some exchanges like Kraken and Coinbase also support Lightning, allowing users to deposit or withdraw Bitcoin instantly.

Lightning-based swaps embedded into Fedi wallet
Through the new Mini App, Exolix enables users to perform Bitcoin swaps with instant settlement, reduced fees, and direct routing via the Lightning Network. Transactions are executed without custodial intermediaries, ensuring users retain full control of their assets throughout the process.
The system removes the need for external exchanges or manual bridging, allowing conversions between Bitcoin and other crypto assets within a single interface. Swaps are processed directly between networks, improving speed and reducing friction for everyday use. The integration positions Lightning Network functionality as a core layer inside the wallet experience, shifting Bitcoin usage closer to real-time payments and micro-transactions.
Expanding Bitcoin utility through non-custodial infrastructure
Fedi is built around privacy, community custody, and usability, leveraging the Fedimint model to support decentralized financial access. The wallet combines Bitcoin and Lightning support with embedded applications designed for non-technical users and regions with limited financial infrastructure.
With Exolix powering the swap layer, users gain access to cross-chain liquidity while maintaining a non-custodial structure. The integration also reduces transaction costs and improves settlement speed, making Bitcoin more practical for frequent and real-world usage.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin perpetual swap open interest remained steady during the year-end expirations. This stability was unexpected, as options close to expiration often lead to significant price fluctuations.
