The developers note that Phoenix has many functions that solve current problems when interacting with the Lightning Network, in particular, it’s about a simplified process of creating an account and connecting to a network, eliminating the need to manage channels, providing access to the balance of the main BTC network and LN.
Phoenix is a non-custodian service, the wallet allows users to maintain control over funds without involving third parties. ACINQ drew attention to the fact that work on the main product, that is, the Eclair wallet, does not stop. This tool is more suitable for experienced users, and Phoenix will be an ideal option for beginners who are just getting acquainted with cryptocurrency and LN.
