In this commit, we start to expose some of the new external funding functionality over the RPC interface. First, we add a new `funding_shim` field to the regular `OpenChannel` method. This can be used by a caller to express that certain parameters of the funding flow have already been negotiated outside the protocol, and should be used instead. For example, a shim can be provided to use a particular key for the commitment key (ideally cold) rather than use one this is generated by the wallet as normal, or signal that signing will be carried out in an interactive manner (PSBT based). Next, we add a brand new method: `FundingStateStep`. FundingStateStep is an advanced funding related call that allows the caller to either execute some preparatory steps for a funding workflow, or manually progress a funding workflow. The primary way a funding flow is identified is via its pending channel ID. As an example, this method can be used to specify that we're expecting a funding flow for a particular pending channel ID, for which we need to use specific parameters. Alternatively, this can be used to interactively drive PSBT signing for funding for partially complete funding transactions. The new transition methods (funding state machine modifiers) in this commit allow a party to register a funding intent that should be used for a specified incoming pending channel ID. The "responder" to the external channel flow should use this to prep lnd to be able to handle the channel flow properly. |

Lightning Network Daemon
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). The project's codebase uses the
btcsuite set of Bitcoin libraries, and also
exports a large set of isolated re-usable Lightning Network related libraries
within it. In the current state lnd
is capable of:
- Creating channels.
- Closing channels.
- Completely managing all channel states (including the exceptional ones!).
- Maintaining a fully authenticated+validated channel graph.
- Performing path finding within the network, passively forwarding incoming payments.
- Sending outgoing onion-encrypted payments through the network.
- Updating advertised fee schedules.
- Automatic channel management (
autopilot
).
Lightning Network Specification Compliance
lnd
fully conforms to the Lightning Network specification
(BOLTs). BOLT stands for:
Basis of Lightning Technology. The specifications are currently being drafted
by several groups of implementers based around the world including the
developers of lnd
. The set of specification documents as well as our
implementation of the specification are still a work-in-progress. With that
said, the current status of lnd
's BOLT compliance is:
- BOLT 1: Base Protocol
- BOLT 2: Peer Protocol for Channel Management
- BOLT 3: Bitcoin Transaction and Script Formats
- BOLT 4: Onion Routing Protocol
- BOLT 5: Recommendations for On-chain Transaction Handling
- BOLT 7: P2P Node and Channel Discovery
- BOLT 8: Encrypted and Authenticated Transport
- BOLT 9: Assigned Feature Flags
- BOLT 10: DNS Bootstrap and Assisted Node Location
- BOLT 11: Invoice Protocol for Lightning Payments
Developer Resources
The daemon has been designed to be as developer friendly as possible in order
to facilitate application development on top of lnd
. Two primary RPC
interfaces are exported: an HTTP REST API, and a gRPC
service. The exported API's are not yet stable, so be warned: they may change
drastically in the near future.
An automatically generated set of documentation for the RPC APIs can be found at api.lightning.community. A set of developer resources including talks, articles, and example applications can be found at: dev.lightning.community.
Finally, we also have an active
Slack where protocol developers, application developers, testers and users gather to
discuss various aspects of lnd
and also Lightning in general.
Installation
In order to build from source, please see the installation instructions.
Docker
To run lnd from Docker, please see the main Docker instructions

Security
The developers of lnd
take security very seriously. The disclosure of
security vulnerabilities helps us secure the health of lnd
, privacy of our
users, and also the health of the Lightning Network as a whole. If you find
any issues regarding security or privacy, please disclose the information
responsibly by sending an email to security at lightning dot engineering,
preferably [encrypted using our designated PGP key
(91FE464CD75101DA6B6BAB60555C6465E5BCB3AF
) which can be found
here.
