Sending Bitcoin
Your self-custody wallet supports:
Lightning payments (via invoices or Lightning addresses / LNURLs)
On-chain Bitcoin transactions
You don’t need to choose the type of payment manually - the wallet automatically detects it for you.
How to Send:
Tap “Send” in the wallet.
Scan the QR code or paste the address or invoice.
Lightning invoices, Lightning addresses and LNURLs are supported.
On-chain Bitcoin addresses are also supported.
The wallet will automatically detect the type of payment.
Confirm/enter the amount (if it’s not pre-filled) and review the details.
Tap “Send” to complete the payment.
Fees:
Lightning Payments: The wallet calculates and includes any required routing fees automatically (these are typically very low).
- On-Chain Payments: The wallet automatically calculates the required mining fee based on current network conditions and includes a small service fee. These are combined and displayed as a single “network fee” before you confirm the transaction.
Receiving Bitcoin
You can receive Bitcoin via Lightning or on-chain from the Receive page.
Bitcoin via Lightning:
Tap “Receive” – by default, you’ll see your Lightning Address / LNURL QR code displayed.
Share this QR code or your Lightning Address for instant Lightning payments.
To request a specific amount:
Tap the Amount/Note button.
Enter the amount (and an optional note).
The wallet generates a Lightning invoice QR code you can share.
On-Chain (BTC):
On the Receive screen, tap the BTC logo button at the bottom.
This will show your on-chain Bitcoin address and QR code.
Share this address or QR code for on-chain transactions.
Fees:
- On-Chain Receiving Fees: When you receive Bitcoin on-chain, a network fee applies along with a small service fee. These fees are automatically deducted from the amount received. The current fees are always displayed on the BTC (on-chain) receive page, so you can review them before sharing your address.
- Lightning Network: We do not charge any fees for receiving payments via the Lightning Network.
✅ Things to Remember:
Lightning payments in WoS default to your Lightning Address/LNURL but can also be made via specific invoices.
Switching between Lightning (⚡) and On-Chain (₿) is as simple as tapping the buttons at the bottom of the Receive screen.
Fees (routing for Lightning, mining for on-chain) are calculated and shown before sending.
