Breez Announces New SDK Implementation Built on Spark

This collaboration aims to simplify the integration of self-custodial Lightning payments into everyday applications and services.

Crypto startup Breez has announced a new implementation of its software development kit (SDK) built on Spark, a bitcoin-native Layer 2 infrastructure developed by Blockstream.

This integration aims to simplify the integration of self-custodial Lightning payments into everyday applications and services in a way that is fully bitcoin-native, without the need for any bridges or external consensus mechanisms.

It will open up possibilities for various use cases such as streaming payments for content, monetizing social apps, in-game currencies, cross-border remittances, and AI micro-settlements.

“We need developers to bring bitcoin into apps people use every day. That’s why we built the Breez SDK. We’re excited to build on Spark’s revolutionary architecture—giving developers a powerful new bitcoin-native option and continuing to strengthen Lightning as the common language of bitcoin.” said Alina Jebris, CEO of Breez.

“This is what the future of bitcoin looks like—fast, open, and embedded in the apps people use every day. By teaming up with Breez, we’re expanding the ecosystem and giving developers powerful, bitcoin-native tools to build next-generation payment experiences. Together, we’re building the standard for global, peer-to-peer transactions.” adds Michel Bedetti, CEO of Lightpark.

“We’re excited to see what developers build with Spark; it’s very exciting to see this come to the world.”

As part of the collaboration, Breez will be a Spark Service Provider (SSP) like Lightspark, who will be providing liquidity to Spark. They will be focused on facilitating payments and supporting the growth of Spark’s ecosystem.

The new implementation of the Breez SDK is set to be released later this year. More technical specifications regarding the integration will be shared closer to the launch.
