Artists · Getting paid

Your wallet is where the money goes.

When someone buys your music, they pay an invoice from your wallet; the sats never pass through us. For that to work, your wallet has to do one thing beyond receiving: confirm to us that the invoice was paid, so we can unlock the buyer's download. That confirmation is a Lightning standard called LUD-21, and not every wallet supports it yet.

The app checks your address the moment you save it, including requesting a real test invoice that is never paid and expires on its own, so a wallet that won't work fails in seconds, not after your first sale.

Buying? Any Lightning wallet works; this page is only about artists getting paid.

As of our last check. These wallets are fine for receiving zaps and tips; the limitation is only settlement confirmation for gated downloads. We're exploring additional confirmation methods that would bring some of these onboard.

Running your own node? Self-hosted artists don't need any of this; your node confirms its own payments. See the self-hosted tier.
