ANNOUNCING THE RAIDEN LIGHT CLIENT “Ashvini” RELEASE.

Raiden network is proud to announce the Raiden Light Client. The Ashvini mainnet release is a Typescript implementation of the Raiden Network that runs in any Ethereum enabled browser. Over the five years they’ve been building Raiden, it’s become increasingly clear to them that UX/UI is a challenge in the crypto space, but at the same time it’s paramount for mass adoption. Hence, this is one of our main motivations to develop the Raiden Light Client. They wanted to provide users with a convenient and easy way to interact with the Raiden Network without having to run a full node. They call it a Light Client, but in reality it is a full Raiden client that requires less resources to run. They’re not only releasing an SDK, but also a reference implementation of a dApp that is built on top of the Light Client. You can start using the Raiden Light Client on the Ethereum mainnet right now via lightclient.raiden.network. Once you have the Light Client dApp setup you will be able to do fast and very cheap ERC-20 token transfers to anyone running a Raiden node. Not only will you remove load from the Ethereum main chain, but you also won’t have to worry about high and fluctuating gas prices.
