What is a Lightning address?

What is a Lightning Address?

When you register with Coinsnap, you’ll be asked to provide a Lightning Address.
It works similarly to an email address – but instead of sending messages, it’s used to send and receive Bitcoin payments over the Lightning Network.

Example: yourname@walletofsatoshi.com

When your customers pay with Bitcoin on your website or online shop, the payment will be credited to your Lightning wallet via this address.

How to get a Lightning Address

To use a Lightning Address, you need a Lightning wallet that supports it.
If you don’t already have one, check out our guide:
“How to get a Lightning wallet with a Lightning Address” – it walks you through the setup step by step.

Coinsnap recommends the following wallets that offer you a Lightning Address:

Wallet Example Lightning Address Website
Alby yourname@getalby.com getalby.com
Blink yourname@blink.sv blink.sv
Coinos yourname@coinos.io coinos.io
Misty Breez yourname@breez.fun breez.technology
Mt Pelerin yourname@ln.mtpelerin.com mtpelerin.com
Speed App yourname@speed.app speed.app
Strike yourname@strike.me strike.me
VIPSats yourname@vipsats.app vipsats.app
Wallet of Satoshi yourname@walletofsatoshi.com walletofsatoshi.com
ZBD Wallet yourname@zbd.gg zbd.gg

Running your own Lightning Node?

If you’re running your own Lightning node, you can also use a custom Lightning Address.
Just keep in mind that payment issues can occur if no suitable or low-cost route to your node is available.

Recommendation:

If you’re new to Lightning, we suggest starting with user-friendly wallets like Wallet of Satoshi, Misty Breez or Blink.
