Blockade Games is connecting Ethereum to Bitcoin's Lightning Network

Blockade Games announced on Wednesday that it has successfully bridged Ethereum and Bitcoin's Lightning Network by sending a bitcoin lightning transaction in such a way that it can cause an Ethereum smart contract to run. The company has run its code on the Rinkeby testnet and plans to deploy it on mainnet in the next couple of weeks, Blockade Games CTO Ben Heidorn told CoinDesk. All of these tests feed into plans to add Lightning Network support to Neon District, its upcoming roleplaying game built on top of Ethereum.
