# LNbits |
|||
Free and open-source lightning-network wallet/accounts system |
|||
Simple Python lightning-network wallet/accounts system. Use https://lnbits.com, or run your own LNbits server! |
|||
|
|||
LNbits is a very simple server that sits on top of a funding source, and can be used as: |
|||
* Accounts system to mitigate the risk of exposing applications to your full balance, via unique API keys for each wallet! |
|||
* Fallback wallet for the LNURL scheme |
|||
* Instant wallet for LN demonstrations |
|||
|
|||
Either use https://lnbits.com, or run your own LNbits server! |
|||
The wallet can run on top of any lightning-network funding source such as LND, lntxbot, paywall, opennode, etc |

|||
LNbits is a very simple layer that sits on top of a funding source. LNbits includes unique API keys for each wallet, so funds can be partioned to avoid explosure. |
|||
LNbits is still in BETA. Please report any vulnerabilities responsibly |
|||
## LNbits as an account system |
|||
LNbits is packaged with tools to help manage funds, such as a table of transactions, line chart of spending, export to csv + more to come.. |
|||
|
|||
The wallet can be used in a variety of ways, an instant wallet for LN demonstrations, a fallback wallet for the LNURL scheme, an accounts system to mitigate the risk of exposing applications to your full balance. |

|||
Please note that although one of the aims of this wallet is to mitigate exposure of all your funds, it’s still very BETA and may in fact do the opposite! |
|||
Each wallet also comes with its own API keys, to help partition the exposure of your funding source. |

## LNbits as an LNURL-withdraw fallback |
|||
LNURL has a fallback scheme, so if scanned by a regular QR code reader it can default to a URL. LNbits exploits this to generate an instant wallet using the LNURL-withdraw. |

|||
|
|||
Adding **/lnurlwallet?lightning="LNURL-WITHDRAW"** will trigger a withdraw that builds an LNbits wallet. |
|||
An example use would be an ATM, which utilises LNURL, if the user scans the QR with a regular QR code scanner app, they will stilll be able to access the funds. |

## LNbits as an insta-wallet |
|||
Wallets can be easily generated and given out to people at events (one click multi-wallet generation to be added soon). |
|||
"Go to this website", has a lot less friction than "Download this app". |
