The world's most powerful suite of bitcoin tools.

Run for yourself, for others, or as part of a stack.

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.
