Welcome to Unit 8Lightning Applications, Examples, and Exercises
Now, we will review some current Lightning Network applications and how they are implemented. This unit will analyze three categories of applications: wallets (using the open-source Phoenix as an example), social news aggregators (using Stacker News), and gaming applications (using the micropayment reward system of THNDR Games). Finally, you will complete a practical exercise by creating a simple Lightning wallet using LNBits. You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.

AI Summary
This unit explores real-world Lightning applications and how they are implemented. You will analyze different categories of Lightning-based tools and build a simple Lightning wallet. Here are some key takeaways:
- Understand how Lightning technology powers real-world applications.
- Examine examples such as wallets, social platforms, and gaming applications.
- Explore how developers design applications that integrate Lightning micropayments.
- Recognize how to build a simple Lightning wallet using LNBits.
You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and the unit resources.
