LNbits is beta, for responsible disclosure of any concerns please contact an admin in the community chat.
LNbits is a Python server that sits on top of any funding source. It can be used as:
- Accounts system to mitigate the risk of exposing applications to your full balance via unique API keys for each wallet
- Extendable platform for exploring Lightning network functionality via the LNbits extension framework
- Part of a development stack via LNbits API
- Fallback wallet for the LNURL scheme
- Instant wallet for LN demonstrations
LNbits can run on top of almost all Lightning funding sources.
See LNbits manual for more detailed documentation about each funding source.
Checkout the LNbits YouTube video series.
LNbits is inspired by all the great work of opennode.com, and in particular lnpay.co. Both work as funding sources for LNbits.
Test on our demo server demo.lnbits.com, or on lnbits.com software as a service, where you can spin up an LNbits instance for 21sats per hr.
See the install guide for details on installation and setup.
LNbits is packaged with tools to help manage funds, such as a table of transactions, line chart of spending, export to csv. Each wallet also comes with its own API keys, to help partition the exposure of your funding source.
Extend YOUR LNbits to meet YOUR needs.
All non-core features are installed as extensions, reducing your code base and making your LNbits unique to you. Extend your LNbits install in any direction, and even create and share your own extensions.
LNbits has a powerful API, many projects use LNbits to do the heavy lifting for their bitcoin/lightning services.
LNbits comes packaged with a light node management UI, to make running your node that much easier.
As well as working great in a browser, LNbits has native IoS and Android apps as well as a chrome extension. So you can enjoy the same UI across ALL your devices.
