About BOLT12

An "offer" has enough information for you to reach out and fetch a real invoice from the issuer, through the Lightning Network itself, just like it would send a payment: no web server needed. Your wallet then pays the actual invoice (or, if you scan an "invoice_request", your wallet sends an invoice which the vendor pays, as an ATM or refund would use).

This means that offers can be much smaller than invoices, and contain more information (currency, vendor name, quantity limits, blinded paths to reach the vendor).

Potential Use Case

  • Crowdfunding
  • Privacy with payments using Onion message
  • Static QR Code
  • Reuse address (non-expire)
  • Compatibility between Lightning implementations (LNDK, CLN, Eclair...)
  • Swaps for Exchanges

Ecosystem

Ecosystem and adoption around BOLT12 implementation

Lightning Implementations

  • LNDK - LNDK is a standalone daemon that connects to LND (via its grpc API) that aims to implement bolt 12 functionality externally to LND. LNDK leverages the lightning development kit to provide functionality, acting as a thin "shim" between LND's APIs and LDK's lightning library
  • Core Lightning - Lightning Network implementation focusing on spec compliance and performance
  • bolt12.dart - A dart implementation of lightning network BOLT12
  • Rust-Lightning - LDK/rust-lightning is a highly performant and flexible implementation of the Lightning Network protocol
  • Eclair - A scala implementation of the Lightning Network
  • BOLT12 Address Support - BOLT12 Lightning Address Format
  • LDK Bindings for Garbage-Collected Languages - This repo contains an autogeneration system to generate LDK bindings for garbage-collected languages, currently including Java and TypeScript
  • Breez SDK Greenlight - Cloud-based Lightning integration that offers a self-custodial, end-to-end solution for integrating Lightning payments, utilizing nodes-on-demand provided by Blockstream’s Greenlight (Planned)
  • Breez SDK Liquid - It’s a nodeless Lightning integration that offers a self-custodial, end-to-end solution for integrating Lightning payments, utilizing the Liquid Network with on-chain interoperability and third-party fiat on-ramps.
  • Lightning Network Daemon (LND) - The Lightning Network Daemon (lnd) - is a complete implementation of a Lightning Network node. lnd has several pluggable back-end chain services including btcd (a full-node), bitcoind, and neutrino (a new experimental light client) (Planned)
  • BOLT12 PLayground by Strike - This Bolt 12 Playground provides a docker stack that comprises of bitcoind, LND, CLN, Eclair and LNDK. It connects everything together, initializes wallets, and creates channels between the nodes.
  • LDK Offer Parser Reproducer - Sample repository to reproduce ldk offer parser issues
  • LDK Node - A ready-to-go node implementation built using LDK.
  • Phoenixd - Phoenixd is the server equivalent of the popular phoenix wallet for mobile
  • Payto - Core Lightning (CLN) companion app that can pay to lightning address, LNURL, BIP353 (DNS Payment Instructions) and bolt12 offers

  • Phoenix - Phoenix is a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet using Lightning to send/receive payments
  • Lexe Wallet - 24/7 Lightning wallet for payments
  • Firebolt - Bitcoin and Lightning wallet with Nostr, Lightning Network, Bitcoin, Coinjoin and Payjoin (Planned)
  • Zeus - ZEUS is an open-source, self-custodial Bitcoin wallet that gives you full control over how you make payments
  • Breez Mobile Wallet - The Breez mobile app is a favorite of Lightning wizards and rookies alike. With a non-custodial Lightning node running on your mobile device (Planned)
  • Plasma - Core Lightning Wallet powered by LNSocket
  • BitBanana - Lightning Node Management for Android
  • Alby - Your Bitcoin & Nostr companion for the web (Planned)
  • Zaprite - Bitcoin payments made easy (Plannned)
  • Strike - Wallet for Bitcoin and lightning network
  • Coinos - The easiest way to get started with bitcoin.
