⚠️ Important Update:

Relai is sunsetting the Lightning wallet as part of our commitment to secure, self-custodial bitcoin savings. This means that Lightning transactions will no longer be available within the Relai app after June 30th.

If you have funds in your Lightning wallet, you must take action before the June 30th deadline to avoid losing access.

Learn more about why we’re sunsetting the Lightning wallet and what you need to do to secure your funds in our Lightning Wallet Sunset FAQ.

If you have any questions or need help, please contact our support team via the in-app support chat or via email at [email protected].

To send Lightning BTC please follow these steps:

  1. In your Relai app, navigate to -> (+) -> Send.

  2. The recipient must generate an invoice in his/her Lightning app/wallet.

  3. Now scan the QR code of the invoice or copy the entire Lightning invoice into the 'Add address/Invoice' field below.

  4. Click on 'Next'.

  5. You now see an overview of the Lightning transaction.

  6. Click on 'Send now' to send the transaction.

Please note that static Lightning addresses and QR-codes are not yet supported.
