Zeus
Zeus is an open source mobile app that allows users to remotely access their lightning nodes from anywhere in the world. You can send, receive, do basic channel management, and more with this single app. Connecting your Voltage hosted LND node to Zeus has been made very quick and easy. Here's how it's done:
First, download Zeus on your mobile device. If you are using an Android or Apple device, you can download from their respective app stores. If you are running a degoogled android device or are just into privacy, the APK installer can be found at https://zeusln.com/ or you can get the binary from their repository at https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus.
Once you install Zeus, complete the following steps in the Zeus app:
- Click ADVANCED SET-UP (Do NOT click Quick Start!)
- Click + Connect a node (at the top)
- Give your wallet a nickname if you wish to.
- Under Node Interface select LND (Lightning Node Connect).
- Do not change the Mailbox Server.
At this point, we need to get your pairing phrase from your Voltage LND node dashboard.
On your LND node dashboard on Voltage, you will see a menu on the left side.
- Click Manage Access, and then LNC credentials.
- Enter a name for your Pairing Phrase. Each Pairing Phrase can only be used once. Keep in mind that if you do not enter a pairing phrase within 5 minutes, it will expire.
- Change the Macaroon Type to Admin. If you choose Read-Only, you will not be able to directly interact with the node; you will only be able to see information.
- Click + Create LNC Pairing Phrase.
After you click Create LNC Pairing Phrase, click the Eye symbol to reveal the pairing phrase:
Back on the Zeus app, enter the 10 word pairing phrase displayed in the screen shot above and click SAVE NODE CONFIG. After this, you can click the back arrow, and then select the node nickname. Click the bank-looking symbol to get to your wallet where you can send/receive anywhere in the world! There is much more you can do with Zeus than what is shown in this guide. Feel free to click around and see all the things you can do with the Zeus app!
