Store held forwards as off-chain or on-chain entries instead of a raw
InterceptedForward map. Off-chain entries keep the existing resume, fail,
settle and auto-fail behavior. On-chain entries are settle-only and
expire by pruning local interceptor state.
When contractcourt re-offers a circuit that is already held off-chain,
replace the stored entry with the on-chain forward so a later SETTLE
reaches the witness beacon instead of the old link mailbox path.
Also set the on-chain interceptor deadline to the HTLC refund timeout.
This keeps the public interceptor deadline populated while ensuring only
off-chain held entries use that value to fail back.
Only off-chain held HTLCs can be released when an optional interceptor
disconnects, because they can resume into the link forwarding flow.
On-chain held HTLCs have no link flow to resume. Keep them in the held
set so a reconnecting interceptor can replay and settle them while
contractcourt waits for the preimage or on-chain expiry.
Use distinct internal deadline types for off-chain auto-fail heights and
on-chain settlement deadlines instead of overloading the intercepted packet
field.
Project both variants back into the existing router RPC auto_fail_height
field to preserve wire compatibility. Reject mismatched held HTLC deadline
types in tests.
On-chain intercepted HTLCs can only be settled. Resume and fail actions
already return concrete errors through the on-chain intercepted forward, so
let those errors propagate to the interceptor client instead of converting
them to success.
Keep the held entry tracked on these errors so the client can reconnect and
settle the HTLC later.

Lightning Network Daemon
The Lightning Network Daemon (lnd) - is a complete implementation of a
Lightning Network node. lnd has several pluggable back-end
chain services including btcd (a
full-node), bitcoind, and
neutrino (a new experimental light client). The project's codebase uses the
btcsuite set of Bitcoin libraries, and also
exports a large set of isolated re-usable Lightning Network related libraries
within it. In the current state lnd is capable of:
- Creating channels.
- Closing channels.
- Completely managing all channel states (including the exceptional ones!).
- Maintaining a fully authenticated+validated channel graph.
- Performing path finding within the network, passively forwarding incoming payments.
- Sending outgoing onion-encrypted payments through the network.
- Updating advertised fee schedules.
- Automatic channel management (
autopilot).
Lightning Network Specification Compliance
lnd fully conforms to the Lightning Network specification
(BOLTs). BOLT stands for:
Basis of Lightning Technology. The specifications are currently being drafted
by several groups of implementers based around the world including the
developers of lnd. The set of specification documents as well as our
implementation of the specification are still a work-in-progress. With that
said, the current status of lnd's BOLT compliance is:
- BOLT 1: Base Protocol
- BOLT 2: Peer Protocol for Channel Management
- BOLT 3: Bitcoin Transaction and Script Formats
- BOLT 4: Onion Routing Protocol
- BOLT 5: Recommendations for On-chain Transaction Handling
- BOLT 7: P2P Node and Channel Discovery
- BOLT 8: Encrypted and Authenticated Transport
- BOLT 9: Assigned Feature Flags
- BOLT 10: DNS Bootstrap and Assisted Node Location
- BOLT 11: Invoice Protocol for Lightning Payments
Developer Resources
The daemon has been designed to be as developer friendly as possible in order
to facilitate application development on top of lnd. Two primary RPC
interfaces are exported: an HTTP REST API, and a gRPC
service. The exported APIs are not yet stable, so be warned: they may change
drastically in the near future.
An automatically generated set of documentation for the RPC APIs can be found at api.lightning.community. A set of developer resources including guides, articles, example applications and community resources can be found at: docs.lightning.engineering.
Finally, we also have an active
Slack where protocol developers, application developers, testers and users gather to
discuss various aspects of lnd and also Lightning in general.
First-time contributors are highly encouraged to start with code review first, before creating their own Pull Requests.
Installation
In order to build from source, please see the installation instructions.

Safety
When operating a mainnet lnd node, please refer to our operational safety
guidelines. It is important to note that lnd is still
beta software and that ignoring these operational guidelines can lead to
loss of funds.
Security
The developers of lnd take security very seriously. The disclosure of
security vulnerabilities helps us secure the health of lnd, privacy of our
users, and also the health of the Lightning Network as a whole. If you find
any issues regarding security or privacy, please disclose the information
responsibly by sending an email to security at lightning dot engineering,
preferably encrypted using our designated PGP key
(91FE464CD75101DA6B6BAB60555C6465E5BCB3AF) which can be found
here.
