Lightning address

LNURL-pay with LUD-21 verify. Names on request.

What it is

A Lightning address looks like an email address and lets anyone pay you over Lightning without asking for an invoice first. Behind it is LNURL-pay: the payer's wallet fetches a small JSON document from the domain, asks it for an invoice of the chosen amount, and pays. LUD-21 adds a verify step so the payer can confirm the payment settled.

This one is our own, served from our infrastructure rather than a custodial provider, which is the point: the domain owner controls the endpoint, so the funds land where they say.

What people use it for

• Receiving tips, donations or invoices with one memorable string.
• Testing a wallet's Lightning-address support against a known-good endpoint.
• Seeing what a self-hosted LNURL-pay endpoint returns, step by step, with curl.
