Which brings us to why did I even bother making a plugin for BTCPay Server in the first place. I wanted something lightweight to suggest to people who want to accept occasional donation for their project, or sell the odd t-shirt or coffee. Something that just works, with minimal setup and maintenance.
And thats where Breez comes in. I've been a fan of nodeless approach Breez has taken from the start. Which is kinda funny because I'm also the guy who started a lightning node management company. Or maybe its because of that, who knows. I've experimented with the first edition of nodeless sdk, built some proof of concepts and even a small woocommerce compatible api. One that could replace btcpayserver for this exact purpose. But you still needed to run it somewhere, and the swaps complicated things a bit. So when Breez announced time2build hackathon I thought its the perfect opportunity to burn some tokens and pretend I know C#.

And here it is - [BTCPay Server Breez Nodeless Lightning backend](https://github.com/aljazceru/btcpayserver-breez-nodeless-spark). A lightweight backend to accept lightning payments in your BTCPay server. No liquidity management, no deployment of your own funds to be able to accept payments. No waiting for nodes to sync. Deploy and start accepting payments immediately. Its still under heavy development so expect things to improve and more features to come. But its already usable for basic payments. Automated treasury management is coming soon so you'll be able to sweep out funds to your cold wallet (or a different lightning node) when the balance on spark wallet reaches a threshold. Yes, it uses Spark's statechain so the risk profile is different than running your own node. But risk is about tradeoffs. And risks can be managed. For starters its much better than using a fully custodial kyc'd solution. Which is what many people end up doing when they want to accept LN payments without running their own node. I think enabling more people to accept LN payments with a lightweight solution is a net positive for bitcoin and bringing as many possible solutions for different use cases is a good thing. Bitcoin is for payments. Lets make it easy to accept them.
