Description
C-simple is a minimalist implementation of the Lightning Network protocol created as a programming exercise to simplify understanding of this layer-2 payment protocol on the blockchain. Developed in C and hosted on GitHub, C-simple serves as an educational tool rather than a production-ready solution, demystifying the operation of Lightning nodes and transactions. It offers programmers a straightforward entry point to explore Lightning Network development without the complexity of larger implementations. By contributing to the understanding of the Lightning Network, C-simple aids in advancing the broader web3 and blockchain ecosystems. While similar to projects like Eclair Mobile, which also integrates the Lightning Network, C-simple is unique in its focus on simplicity and education, making technical concepts more accessible for enthusiasts and developers.
