Fast and modular lightning network implementation for all usages, written in Rust.
This is the complete list of crates supported right now:
| Crate | Description | Version |
|---|---|---|
| lampod-cli | Lampo Daemon command line interface to run the daemon | unrelated |
| lampo-cli | Simple Lampo command line interface to interact with the daemon | unrelated |
To install all the requirements and the Lampo binary, you need to have rust installed, and then run the following command:
make install
After you have lampod-cli and lampo-cli available, the first time you run
lampod-cli with signet network, it will create a new wallet:
➜ ~ lampod-cli --network signet
✓ Wallet Generated, please store these words in a safe way
wallet-keys maple have fitness decide food joy flame coast stereo front grab stumble
Note
Store your wallet words securely. You can use them later to restore the wallet with --restore-wallet.
If you do not store your words anywhere, your funds will be lost the next time Lampo starts!
The second time you run the same command, it will start the Lampo daemon (lampod), which will show continuous logs of the node's activity:
➜ ~ lampod-cli --network signet
[2025-08-27T10:15:23Z INFO lampod] WARN lampod_cl1 Loading from existing wallet. [lampod-cli/src/main.rs:159]
... (continuous log output) ...
Please note that you need to have a lampo.conf in the path ~/.lampo/signet. Run the
following command to use the example config file:
cp lampo.example.conf ~/.lampo/signet/lampo.conf
Then you can query the node with the following command:
➜ ~ lampo-cli --network signet getinfo
{
"node_id": "035b889551a44e502cd0cd6657acf067336034986cd6639b222cd4be563a7fc205",

}
