To this end, one of the primary goals of LDK Node is to simplify the integration of self-custodial Lightning nodes in mobile applications. The features of the initial release are centered around mobile deployments. The integration with an Esplora chain data source and a Rapid Gossip Sync server allows the node to operate in mobile environments that may be limited in terms of bandwidth and overall traffic quota.

LDK Node itself is written in [Rust][rust] and may therefore be natively added as a library dependency to any `std` Rust program. However, beyond its Rust API, it offers [Swift][swift], [Kotlin][kotlin], and [Python][python] language bindings based on [UniFFI][uniffi]. Moreover, [Flutter][flutter_bindings] bindings are also available to allow usage of the LDK Node library in mobile environments.

Should we link to the repos for the bindings, do we have those yet?

There are no dedicated repos. We could link to the binary releases, but some are not up yet (Kotlin/JVM and Python will come ~next week or so).
