What is the best Lightning wallet in 2026?

Phoenix for polished mobile self-custody (non-US users), Zeus for power-users with own-node connectivity, Cake/Stack for multi-asset.

For mobile self-custody Lightning in 2026: Phoenix Wallet by ACINQ is the most polished default with splice channels handling channel management automatically — but Phoenix left the U.S. App Store in May 2024, so U.S. users need to sideload or switch. Zeus is the power-user option that connects to your own LND/CLN/Eclair node over Tor, with an embedded-node mode added in 2024 for users without a separate node. Cake Wallet and Stack Wallet handle Lightning alongside BTC and XMR in one app. RoboSats has a built-in Lightning wallet aimed at small trade settlement.
