11 Lightning wallets listed for Poland
In ChainChoice’s published ranking order, from this category’s 13 providers: those whose terms exclude Poland are removed; naming Poland or a region that covers it counts the same, and those whose terms do not state it come last. Each chip names the basis: a dated check, a region listing, or the provider's own claim.
#1 for PolandBlink#1 globallyProvider states broad availability Runs a custodial multisig wallet and a Spark self-custody wallet side by side, publishes which mode each payer is in, and has proved the unilateral exit to Layer 1 on mainnet with its real fees and a roughly 10-day timelock wait.
Custody of balance — 10/10Inbound capacity — 9/10Exit to chain — 9/10#2 for PolandPhoenix#2 globallyProvider states broad availability A pure Lightning wallet from ACINQ: keys and channel state on the phone, ACINQ as the single channel counterparty, and both the fee schedule and the unilateral exit published as numbers.
Custody of balance — 10/10Inbound capacity — 9/10Exit to chain — 9/10#3 for PolandMuun#3 globallyProvider states broad availability A self-custodial 2-of-2 multisig wallet whose spending balance is ordinary on-chain bitcoin; Lightning is reached by swap and just-in-time channels, and an open-source tool sweeps the funds out without Muun's cooperation.
Exit to chain — 10/10Custody of balance — 9/10Recovery and failure — 9/10#4 for PolandBitkit#4 globallyProvider states broad availability A self-custodial phone node with Blocktank as its in-app LSP: the balance is a 2-of-2 you control, the LSP's cut and the two-week force-close wait are both published, and US and Canadian residents are refused connections.
Custody of balance — 9/10Inbound capacity — 9/10Exit to chain — 9/10#5 for PolandAlby Hub#5 globallyProvider states broad availability A self-hosted, self-custodial Lightning node spent from via Alby Go; the guides publish the key claim, six named LSPs, close and force-close waits, and a three-setup backup matrix.
Custody of balance — 9/10Exit to chain — 9/10Recovery and failure — 9/10#6 for PolandZEUS#6 globallyProvider states broad availability A phone-hosted LND or LDK node that also runs its own LSP, so one wallet prices both sides: channels at 10,000 sats or 1%, and docs that say plainly the seed alone force-closes them.
Recovery and failure — 10/10Custody of balance — 9/10Inbound capacity — 9/10#7 for PolandAQUA#7 globallyProvider states broad availability JAN3's self-custodial wallet: the spending balance is L-BTC on the Liquid sidechain, Lightning runs as Boltz submarine swaps priced 0.1% out / 0.25% in, and the 12 words are documented to open in Blockstream App or Electrum.
Inbound capacity — 9/10Recovery and failure — 9/10Custody of balance — 8/10#8 for PolandWallet of Satoshi#8 globallyProvider states broad availability The custodial default now shipping a self-custody twin on Spark: both models are named with the entity and the operator behind them, Lightning receive is an explicit zero - but the on-chain exit carries no time and no unilateral steps.
Inbound capacity — 9/10Custody of balance — 8/10#9 for PolandCoinos#9 globallyProvider states broad availability Open-source custodial web wallet that prices its exit on the front page - 0.4% Bitcoin, 0.1% Lightning or Liquid - and makes the payer choose between a named Cashu-mint custodian and a keyed savings account; /terms returns an app error.
