tags: [setup]
---

Creating a Lightning wallet on BlueWallet is easy.

You can either click on the "Add now" button or the "+" icon in the top right corner

{% include phone-screenshot-image.html img="bluewallet-first-page.png" alt="BlueWallet's first page" %}

That will take you to the "add wallet" screen.

## Adding a new wallet

In the "add wallet" screen, you can choose between a Bitcoin wallet and a Lightning wallet.

{% include phone-screenshot-image.html img="add-lightning-wallet.png" alt="Add Lightning wallet" %}

For Lightning, click on the Lightning button. (If you want to create a Bitcoin wallet, see [this guide](/docs/create-bitcoin-wallet).)

You may also name your wallet, or leave the default name.

<div class="side-note" markdown="1">

### Advanced options

If you have "Advanced mode" enabled in general settings,
you'll see one more option for creating the wallet.

{% include phone-screenshot-image.html img="add-lightning-wallet-with-advanced-options.png" alt="Add Lightning wallet with advanced options" %}

#### Connecting to your own LNDHub

Lightning functionality in BlueWallet is powered by [LNDHub](http://lndhub.io/), an open source service that we created for this purpose. We host our own instance of this service and BlueWallet connects to it by default. However, for more privacy you can host your own instance and connect to it.

To do that, you can add the address of your lndhub instance in the specified text field.


</div>

When you're ready, you can click on "Create" to make your new wallet.

Creating a Lightning wallet on BlueWallet is no longer possible since April 30th, 2023.

You can host your own instance or import an custodian lightning service.
