Radar Chat has released a fork of Signal that adds native Bitcoin Lightning Network payments, letting users send sats directly inside chat windows without leaving the app. The product is built on the Signal protocol, keeps end-to-end encryption, and remains compatible with existing Signal users. The project is backed by the Cake Wallet team, with Seth for Privacy serving as chief operating officer. Radar Chat says it uses a fully self-custodial model, giving users control of their own private keys while also offering seed phrase recovery. The team also said it plans to provide financial support to the Signal Foundation and is positioning the app as a complement to the broader Signal ecosystem rather than a rival. The update was cited by CryptoBriefing in a Techub News brief.
