Your Bitcoin Lightning toolbox
The LNbits Lightning wallet and payments platform, installed and maintained by DINAO. Segregated wallets, a clean API, and extensions run on our French servers — on top of your own funding source.
What is LNbits?
LNbits is an open-source Bitcoin & Lightning toolbox: a lightweight Python server that provides segregated wallets, a clean API, and an extension system, on top of a Lightning funding source (LND node, Core Lightning, or provider).
Each wallet has its own API keys, avoiding exposure of the global balance and allowing secure distribution of accounts — ideal for workshops, PoCs, or commercial use. The extension system quickly adds features (payment terminal, paywall, LNURL, donations, subscriptions…) without locking the user into a specific node implementation.
Lightweight and distributed under the MIT license, LNbits exposes an HTTP API covering payments, wallets, and accounting, and supports SQLite or PostgreSQL. Deployed in a container by DINAO in France, it becomes a sovereign Lightning infrastructure: you connect your own funding source.

Technical details
You might be wondering…
Is LNbits a Lightning node?
No. LNbits is a layer of wallets and accounts that sits on top of a Lightning funding source (an LND node, Core Lightning, or a provider). DINAO hosts it; you connect your funding source.
How do segregated wallets work?
Each wallet has its own API keys, without exposing the global balance of the funding source. This allows distributing wallets (workshops, applications, merchants) while limiting risk.
What do extensions allow?
The extension system adds Lightning features (payment terminal, paywall, LNURL, donations, subscriptions…) without modifying the core or locking you into a specific node implementation.
Are my data hosted in France?
Yes. Your LNbits instance and its database run on DINAO's French infrastructure. You retain control of your funding source and accounts.
Do I need technical skills?
DINAO handles installation, security, and updates. You need to have a Lightning funding source to connect; then, wallets and extensions are managed via the interface and API.
