One of the first things the incoming contest resolver does is checking if the preimage is available and if it is, convert itself into a success resolver. This behaviour makes it unnecessary to already determine earlier in the process whether an incoming contest or a success resolver is needed. By having all incoming htlcs go through the incoming contest resolver, the number of execution paths is reduced and it becomes easier to ascertain that the implemented logic is correct. The only functional change in this commit is that a forwarded htlc for which is the preimage is known, is no longer settled when the htlc is already expired. Previously a success resolver would be instantiated directly, skipping the expiry height check. This created a risk that the success resolver would never finish, because an expired htlc could already have been swept by the remote party and there is no detection of this remote spend in the success resolver currently. With the new change, the general direction that an expired htlc shouldn't be settled and instead given up on is implemented more consistently. This commit prepares for fixing edges cases related to hodl invoice on-chain resolution. |

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.
