BOLT #11: Invoice Protocol for Lightning Payments

A simple, extendable QR-code-ready protocol for requesting payments over Lightning.

Table of Contents

Encoding Overview

The format for a Lightning invoice uses bech32 encoding, which is already used for Bitcoin Segregated Witness. It can be simply reused for Lightning invoices even though its 6-character checksum is optimized for manual entry, which is unlikely to happen often given the length of Lightning invoices.

If a URI scheme is desired, the current recommendation is to either use 'lightning:' as a prefix before the BOLT-11 encoding (note: not 'lightning://'), or for fallback to bitcoin payments to use 'bitcoin:', as per BIP-21, with the key 'lightning' and the value equal to the BOLT-11 encoding.

Requirements

A writer MUST encode the payment request in Bech32 as specified in BIP-0173, with the exception that the Bech32 string MAY be longer than the 90 characters specified there. A reader MUST parse the address as Bech32 as specified in BIP-0173 (also without the character limit), and MUST fail if the checksum is incorrect.

Human-Readable Part

The human-readable part of a Lightning invoice consists of two sections:

  1. prefix: ln + BIP-0173 currency prefix (e.g. lnbc for bitcoin mainnet, lntb for bitcoin testnet and lnbcrt for bitcoin regtest)
  2. amount: optional number in that currency, followed by an optional multiplier letter. The unit encoded here is the 'social' convention of a payment unit -- in the case of Bitcoin the unit is 'bitcoin' NOT satoshis.

The following multiplier letters are defined:

  • m (milli): multiply by 0.001
  • u (micro): multiply by 0.000001
  • n (nano): multiply by 0.000000001
  • p (pico): multiply by 0.000000000001

Requirements

A writer:

  • MUST encode prefix using the currency it requires for successful payment
  • If it requires a specific minimum amount for successful payment:
    • MUST include that amount
    • MUST encode amount as a positive decimal integer with no leading zeroes
    • SHOULD use the shortest representation possible by using the largest multiplier or omitting the multiplier

A reader:

  • MUST fail if it does not understand the prefix
  • If the amount is empty:
    • SHOULD indicate if amount is unspecified
  • Otherwise:
    • MUST fail if amount contains a non-digit or is followed by anything except a multiplier in the table above
    • If the multiplier is present:
      • MUST multiply amount by the multiplier value to derive the amount required for payment

Rationale

The amount is encoded into the human readable part, as it's fairly readable and a useful indicator of how much is being requested.

Donation addresses often don't have an associated amount, so amount is optional in that case. Usually a minimum payment is required for whatever is being offered in return.

Data Part

The data part of a Lightning invoice consists of multiple sections:

  1. timestamp: seconds-since-1970 (35 bits, big-endian)
  2. zero or more tagged parts
  3. signature: bitcoin-style signature of above (520 bits)

Requirements

A writer MUST set timestamp to the number of seconds since Midnight 1 January 1970, UTC in big-endian. A writer MUST set signature to a valid 512-bit secp256k1 signature of the SHA2 256-bit hash of the human-readable part, represented as UTF-8 bytes, concatenated with the data part (excluding the signature) with zero bits appended to pad the data to the next byte boundary, with a trailing byte containing the recovery ID (0, 1, 2 or 3).

A reader MUST check that the signature is valid (see the n tagged field specified below).

Rationale

signature covers an exact number of bytes even though the SHA-2 standard actually supports hashing in bit boundaries, because it's not widely implemented. The recovery ID allows public-key recovery, so the identity of the payee node can be implied.

Tagged Fields

Each Tagged Field is of the form:

  1. type (5 bits)
  2. data_length (10 bits, big-endian)
  3. data (data_length x 5 bits)

Currently defined tagged fields are:

  • p (1): data_length 52. 256-bit SHA256 payment_hash. Preimage of this provides proof of payment
  • d (13): data_length variable. Short description of purpose of payment (UTF-8), e.g. '1 cup of coffee' or 'ナンセンス 1杯'
  • n (19): data_length 53. 33-byte public key of the payee node
  • h (23): data_length 52. 256-bit description of purpose of payment (SHA256). This is used to commit to an associated description that is over 639 bytes, but the transport mechanism for the description in that case is transport specific and not defined here.
  • x (6): data_length variable. expiry time in seconds (big-endian). Default is 3600 (1 hour) if not specified.
  • c (24): data_length variable. min_final_cltv_expiry to use for the last HTLC in the route. Default is 9 if not specified.
  • f (9): data_length variable, depending on version. Fallback on-chain address: for bitcoin, this starts with a 5-bit version and contains a witness program or P2PKH or P2SH address.
  • r (3): data_length variable. One or more entries containing extra routing information for a private route; there may be more than one r field
    • pubkey (264 bits)
    • short_channel_id (64 bits)
    • fee_base_msat (32 bits, big-endian)
    • fee_proportional_millionths (32 bits, big-endian)
    • cltv_expiry_delta (16 bits, big-endian)

Requirements

A writer MUST include exactly one p field, and set payment_hash to the SHA-2 256-bit hash of the payment_preimage that will be given in return for payment.

A writer MUST include either exactly one d or exactly one h field. If included, a writer SHOULD make d a complete description of the purpose of the payment, and MUST use a valid UTF-8 string. If included, a writer MUST make the preimage of the hashed description in h available through some unspecified means, which SHOULD be a complete description of the purpose of the payment.

A writer MAY include one x field.

A writer MAY include one c field, which MUST be set to the minimum cltv_expiry it will accept for the last HTLC in the route.

A writer SHOULD use the minimum data_length possible for x and c fields.

A writer MAY include one n field, which MUST be set to the public key used to create the signature.

A writer MAY include one or more f fields. For bitcoin payments, a writer MUST set an f field to a valid witness version and program, or 17 followed by a public key hash, or 18 followed by a script hash.

A writer MUST include at least one r field if there is not a public channel associated with its public key. The r field MUST contain one or more ordered entries, indicating the forward route from a public node to the final destination. For each entry, the pubkey is the node ID of the start of the channel; short_channel_id is the short channel ID field to identify the channel; and fee_base_msat, fee_proportional_millionths, and cltv_expiry_delta are as specified in BOLT #7. A writer MAY include more than one r field to provide multiple routing options.

A writer MUST pad field data to a multiple of 5 bits, using zeroes.

If a writer offers more than one of any field type, it MUST specify the most-preferred field first, followed by less-preferred fields in order.

A reader MUST skip over unknown fields, an f field with unknown version, or a p, h, or n field that does not have data_length 52, 52, or 53 respectively.

A reader MUST check that the SHA-2 256 in the h field exactly matches the hashed description.

A reader MUST use the n field to validate the signature instead of performing signature recovery if a valid n field is provided.

Rationale

The type-and-length format allows future extensions to be backward compatible. data_length is always a multiple of 5 bits, for easy encoding and decoding. For fields that we expect may change, readers also ignore ones of different length.

The p field supports the current 256-bit payment hash, but future specs could add a new variant of different length, in which case writers could support both old and new, and old readers would ignore the one not the correct length.

The d field allows inline descriptions, but may be insufficient for complex orders; thus the h field allows a summary, though the method by which the description is served is as-yet unspecified and will probably be transport dependent. The h format could change in future by changing the length, so readers ignore it if it's not 256 bits.

The n field can be used to explicitly specify the destination node ID, instead of requiring signature recovery.

The x field gives warning as to when a payment will be refused; this is mainly to avoid confusion. The default was chosen to be reasonable for most payments and to allow sufficient time for on-chain payment if necessary.

The c field gives a way for the destination node to require a specific minimum CLTV expiry for its incoming HTLC. Destination nodes may use this to require a higher, more conservative value than the default one, depending on their fee estimation policy and their sensitivity to time locks. Note that remote nodes in the route specify their required cltv_expiry_delta in the channel_update message, which they can update at all times.

The f field allows on-chain fallback. This may not make sense for tiny or time-sensitive payments, however. It's possible that new address forms will appear, and so multiple f fields in an implied preferred order help with transition, and f fields with versions 19-31 will be ignored by readers.

The r field allows limited routing assistance: as specified it only allows minimum information to use private channels, but it could also assist in future partial-knowledge routing.

Security Considerations for Payment Descriptions

Payment descriptions are user-defined and provide a potential avenue for injection attacks, both in the process of rendering and persistence.

Payment descriptions should always be sanitized before being displayed in HTML/Javascript contexts, or any other dynamically interpreted rendering frameworks. Implementers should be extra perceptive to the possibility of reflected XSS attacks when decoding and displaying payment descriptions. Avoid optimistically rendering the contents of the payment request until all validation, verification, and sanitization have been successfully completed.

Furthermore, consider using prepared statements, input validation, and/or escaping to protect against injection vulnerabilities against persistence engines that support SQL or other dynamically interpreted querying languages.

Don't be like the school of Little Bobby Tables.

Payer / Payee Interactions

These are generally defined by the rest of the Lightning BOLT series, but it's worth noting that BOLT #5 specifies that the payee SHOULD accept up to twice the expected amount, so the payer can make payments harder to track by adding small variations.

The intent is that the payer recover the payee's node ID from the signature, and after checking that conditions such as fees, expiry, and block timeout are acceptable, attempt a payment. It can use r fields to augment its routing information if necessary to reach the final node.

If the payment succeeds but there is a later dispute, the payer can prove both the signed offer from the payee and the successful payment.

Payer / Payee Requirements

A payer SHOULD NOT attempt a payment after the timestamp plus expiry has passed. Otherwise, if a Lightning payment fails, a payer MAY attempt to use the address given in the first f field that it understands for payment. A payer MAY use the sequence of channels specified by the r field to route to the payee. A payer SHOULD consider the fee amount and payment timeout before initiating payment. A payer SHOULD use the first p field that it did not skip as the payment hash.

A payee SHOULD NOT accept a payment after timestamp plus expiry.
