Almost all payments made on the Lightning Network require an invoice, which is nothing more than a request for payment made by the recipient of the money and sent by different means to the user who will pay. The format for a Lightning invoice uses bech32 encoding, which is already used for Bitcoin Segregated Witness and all payment requests are single use.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Invoices have two parts:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Human readable part: `ln` + (`lnbc` for Bitcoin mainnet, `lntb` for Bitcoin testnet, and `lnbcrt` for Bitcoin regtest) + data amount
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Data part : UNIX Timestamp + tagged parts include a payment hash, the pubkey of the payee node, an optional description of the payment, an expiration time, and some extra routing information.
