Smartwatch users can now receive bitcoin lightning payments in seconds thanks to the new BlueWallet app.
Developed by BlueWallet, the app allows users to generate a QR code on their watch which someone else can scan with their smartphone to quickly send them payment over the Lightning Network, all with a few quick taps on their smartwatch.
In an interview with CryptoSlate, Nuno Coelho, product and user experience engineer, said the Lightning Network is encouraging developers to come up with innovative products and platforms that would aid the adoption of digital assets such as bitcoin.

Nuno said BlueWallet and other applications being developed on Lightning Network such as Tippin.
A: BlueWallet is a mobile app available for iOS and Android.
It works by providing users with an interface to interact with the bitcoin and Lightning Network.

How close is crypto and the Lightning Network to becoming a mainstream payment method?
BlueWallet is available now on Apple's App Store and the Android Store.
