Breez, a leading provider of Lightning Network infrastructure, today announced the beta launch of its Nodeless Breez SDK, built on Spark’s Bitcoin-native Layer 2.
This revolutionary release eliminates the technical complexity of node management, allowing developers to integrate bitcoin and Lightning payments into any application with just a few lines of code—without requiring blockchain infrastructure expertise.
The new SDK represents the most significant leap forward in Bitcoin developer since Lightning’s inception, combining Breez’s battle-tested architecture with Spark’s high-throughput, low-cost transaction layer. For the first time, developers can implement fully self-custodial Bitcoin payments with the simplicity of traditional payment APIs.
Key Breakthroughs:
1. Built on Spark Layer 2
- Sub-second transaction finality
- Microscopic fees
2. Future-Proof Feature Set

- BOLT12 offers for reusable payment links
- BIP353 DNS-based payment instructions
- Nostr Wallet Connect integration
- WebLN compatibility for browser extensions
Developer Experience Transformed
The beta release comes as Lightning Network transaction volume grows year-over-year. Despite this growth, node management complexity has remained the primary barrier to developer adoption—until now.
