Lightning Terminal (litd)

Lightning Terminal (litd) is an all-in-one daemon by Lightning Labs that bundles LND, Loop, Pool, Faraday, and Taproot Assets (tapd) into a single process. ThunderHub supports litd as a backend, connecting to its LND gRPC endpoint to provide full node management along with Taproot Assets support.

ThunderHub connects to LND’s gRPC endpoint (default port 10009), the same way it connects to a standalone LND node. The additional litd services (Loop, Pool, Taproot Assets) are available through the litd UI at https://your-node:8443.
