Today, we're excited to announce the newly redesigned Blockstream Green mobile wallet, giving users a more refined experience based on their particular self-custody need, along with a sleeker, more intuitive interface.

We recognize both the learning curve self-custody presents to the everyday Bitcoin HODLer and the need for advanced security solutions for more experienced users. With the new Blockstream Green mobile app, we addressed this challenge by providing a simple, safe user flow for beginners while educating them on the basics of self-custody, as well as an all-new flexible interface for advanced users who seek a higher degree of control and greater functionality, including singlesig, multisig with two-factor authentication (2FA), and hardware wallet integration, and soon with more options like payments on the Lightning Network and separate cold storage watch-only wallets.

The Build On L2 community is supporting the VLS project with a $150,000 grant to develop a new Rust library for Lightning signers, bringing more features to the open-source community and everybody building on Core Lightning.

The new Lightning signer will be available on multiple platforms and is non-custodial. Users will be able to define rules so that the signer only signs certain types of transactions like channel openings or routing forwards making running a Lightning node much safer.

In more good news, the VLS signer is now fully integrated with Blockstream's Greenlight, allowing devs building with the gl-client or other layers like the Breez SDK to easily access the signer without needing modifications.
