How Lightning Gifts works

Create a bitcoin gift and fund it with a Lightning payment. Share the claim link with the recipient, who can withdraw the gift to a Lightning wallet.

Gifts are held by the service until they are withdrawn or reclaimed. Keep the claim link private: it gives access to the gift.
