LNbits was founded by Ben Arc in 2019, with a dedicated LNbits company subsequently established in 2022. Released under the MIT License, the platform sits above a Lightning funding source and exposes isolated wallets, REST APIs, multi-user accounts, and an extension system to developers and operators. OpenSats first funded the project in August 2023 and has renewed its support multiple times since.
LNbits supports a range of Lightning backends, including LND and Core Lightning, as well as lighter funding-source options such as Spark, Phoenixd, and Arkade. The platform is available as a self-hosted deployment, a managed hosted service at my.lnbits.com, and as dedicated LNbitsBox hardware, with version 0.9.9 of LNbitsBox adding Phoenixd and Arkade support alongside Spark and user-supplied funding sources.
LNbits also supports Nostr Wallet Connect, enabling integrations with Nostr clients and Lightning wallets. Its extension system covers a broad set of crypto-relevant use cases, including point-of-sale payments, online checkout, Nostr zaps, subscriptions, paywalls, tipping, crowdfunding, kiosks, vending machines, and hardware devices. The project remained active and publishing product updates as of July 2026. LNbits has published 510 posts and has been mentioned by 91 accounts, with 425 total mentions.
