Changelog - Oct 8, 2026

qGold Perp is open in early access: it's the first of our qAssets, and the first market on LN Markets that isn't pure bitcoin. Also in this release: an installable web app, IP-restricted API keys, a rebuilt API reference and a round of fixes.

Changelog - Oct 8, 2026
qGold Perp, our first qAsset, is in early access

🥇 qAssets: trade gold, keep your sats

qAssets give you exposure to gold, oil, equities or indices while your margin and P&L stay in bitcoin. Each one is a quanto: the price is quoted in USD, but settlement happens in BTC at a fixed conversion rate. That's what the "q" stands for.

qGold Perp is the first one. Join the waitlist from the new market picker, and read the qAssets guide in the docs to see how quanto P&L works.

✨ New

  • Market picker: switch markets from the trading header and compare last price, 24h change, funding and 24h volume at a glance. On mobile it opens as a bottom sheet.
  • Install the app: add LN Markets to your home screen or dock from your browser. If your connection drops, a banner tells you, and an offline page replaces the error screen.
  • IP-locked API keys: restrict any key to up to 30 IP addresses, when you create it or later.
  • Trusted devices: Settings → Device management now shows when each device expires, and you'll get a banner 7 days before you're signed out.
  • New API reference: call any endpoint on Mainnet or Signet directly from the docs, with TypeScript and Python samples.
  • Compact header on mobile and tablet: price and 24h change stay visible. Index, next funding and fees are one tap away.
  • Sign-in: the page now shows which method you used last on this device.

🐛 Fixes

  • Lightning withdrawals to invoices our node can't pay are now rejected upfront instead of getting stuck in processing.
  • Entering a quantity or price above the maximum now shows an error instead of quietly capping your number.
  • The chart no longer crashes when you rotate an iPhone to landscape.
  • iOS Safari no longer shows an error screen when cookies or site data are blocked.
