Getting Started

SimLN helps you simulate lightning payments on any regtest or signet network.

You will need:

  • A lightning network with open channels.

  • Access to execute gRPC commands on network nodes.

  • The Rust compiler installed.

If you need help setting up a test network, we suggest Polar for beginners or Scaling Lightning for larger deployments.

How to Use

  • Clone repo and install sim-cli
  • Provide access to nodes via simulation parameters json file.
  • Define your desired activity
  • Run the simulation!

See our installation instructions on GitHub to get started!
