What is a Lightning Address?

It's like an email address, but for your bitcoin!

Updated over a week ago

Receive bitcoin to a static address that's easy to remember and unique to you, like an email address. No more need to copy and paste invoices or scan QR codes. If you can send an email, you can send a transaction to a Lightning address.
