lndconnect URI

lndconnect is a connection URI that allows connecting to LND nodes.

It looks like this:

lndconnect://<HOST>:<PORT>?cert=<certificate_encoded_as_base64url>&macaroon=<macaroon_encoded_as_base64url>

It contains the following information:

• Host and port (specifies the node's address)

• Host certificate (for secure communication, not needed when tor is used)

• Macaroon (permission handling for LND nodes)

BitBanana automatically tailors its interface to match the permissions of the macaroon in use. Whether it's read-only, admin or a custom one, the app ensures users only see what they’re allowed to use. For instance, with a read-only macaroon, send functionality is disabled.
