BETA RELEASE Allows you to enable lightning on your stores using Breez SDK, powered by Blockstream Greenlight.
Breez SDK and Greenlight enables you to have a non-custodial lightning experience, without hosting any of of the infrastructure yourself.
Additionally, Breez SDK comes with built-in liquidity and channel automation, reducing the complexity of managing your lightning node.
If you have used any other wallet that uses Breez SDK, you can import it directly into BTCPay Server and continue using it in parallel.
Usage Install the plugin from the BTCPay Server > Settings > Plugin > Available Plugins, and restart In your store > Wallets > Lightning, Configure Breez You will be on a page asking for: Mnemonic: This is your 12 word seed phrase. YOU SHOULD GENERATE THIS FROM A SEGWIT OR LEGACY SEGWIT WALLET AND KEEP IT SAFE. If you have used Breez before, you can use the same seed phrase you used in Breez. You can also use the seed phrase from your BTCPay hot wallet. This SEED PHRASE will be stored on BTCPAY SERVER. IF YOU USE A SHARED BTCPAY SERVER, YOU ARE EXPOSING YOUR SEED PHRASE TO THE SERVER ADMINISTRATOR. Greenlight credentials: In the case of a new seed, you'll need to acquire certificates for issuing new nodes from Blockstream. You can get these for free at https://greenlight.blockstream.com/. You should upload the entire zip file via the Breez Configuration panel in BTCPay Server. Invite Code: Alternatively, you may have an invite code which can be used instead of the Greenlight credentials. Click Save Your new lightning node will be created. Go to Breez > Payments > Receive and generate an invoice for 15-20k sats that you pay from another Lightning wallet. Your first lightning invoice will have a relatively high minimum amount limit. This is because Breez SDK requires a minimum amount to be able to open a channel. You can now use your lightning node to receive payments. Go to Lightning > Settings > Change connection > Use Breez wallet.
NOTE: In the future, Blockstream Greenlight will offer a way to generate read-only access keys for your already issued node, so that you can use these instead of exposing your mnemonic phrase to BTCPay Server, allowing a lightweight, non-custodial lightning experience, even on shared BTCPay Server instances.
Additional features Swap-in: Send and convert onchain funds to your Breez lightning nodes. Swap-out: Send and convert lightning funds to your onchain wallet.
Can you clarify from the documentation
You will be on a page asking for: Mnemonic: This is your 12 word seed phrase. YOU SHOULD GENERATE THIS SAFELY AND KEEP IT SAFE. If you have used Breez before, you can use the same seed phrase you used in Breez. This SEED PHRASE will be stored on BTCPAY SERVER. IF YOU USE A SHARED BTCPAY SERVER, YOU ARE EXPOSING YOUR SEED PHRASE TO THE SERVER ADMINISTRATOR.
Where is this mnemonic coming from? Do I have to generate it from a Breez wallet? From a Breez LSP account?
Can I use the mnemonic of the Bitcoin node of my BTCPay server?
