Tippin was originally launched as an independent project which aimed to make it easier for users to conduct Lightning Network-based Bitcoin transactions and the recent announcement comes after the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey showed his support for Bitcoin and the Lightning Network.

The Twitter CEO recently took part in the community led Trust Chain’s LN initiative which was introduced by Twitter user hodlonaut in order create awareness about the potential benefits of using layer two-crypto scaling solutions such as the LN protocol.


Tippin is currently in its beta stages of development with there being a few features already available such as HTML-based BTC tip button. According to the software developer, Sergio Abril, the Google Chrome extension for Tippin could be released soon, at the end of February.

According to CryptoGlobe, Abril said that the extension will be initially launched to obtain feedback from users saying “the sooner [Tippin is introduced,] the better; as soon as [it’s] relatively stable.”

This will be interesting. Suddenly a lot of people will struggle to post meaningful tweets.

Exactly. The bar will definitely be higher once this is implemented. I know a similar platform that does this already where you can easily send a tip. It is not as popular as twitter but it's a decent platform with a lot of quality and crypto related posts.

With the hoping that Twitter doesn't wake up one day and decides to ben this extension because promotes an unsecure investment...
Twitter is under USA laws, so it is very important that the Chrome extension respects its rules.
