Send & Receive on Lightning

Option A — Lightning Invoice

1. Open your wallet → tap Receive
2. Enter amount (optional) → wallet creates an invoice
3. Share the invoice QR code or text string with the sender
4. Payment arrives in 1–3 seconds

Option B — Lightning Address Some wallets support addresses like yourname@wallet.com — easier to share than long invoices.

1. Open wallet → tap Send
2. Scan QR code from recipient's invoice, OR paste invoice text
3. Verify the amount and description
4. Confirm → done in seconds

A Lightning invoice is a one-time payment request. It includes:

• Amount (in sats)
• Expiry time
• Payment route info

Invoices are not reusable — create a new one for each payment you want to receive.

• Sending: usually 0–2 sats (fractions of a rupee)
• Receiving: often free
• Opening channels: may have a small on-chain fee (wallet handles this)

Much cheaper than on-chain for small amounts.

1. Verify before paying — scams use fake invoices
2. Don't pay unknown QR codes from strangers online
3. Start small — test with ₹50 before larger amounts
4. Keep seed phrase offline — never enter it in any app popup
