👋Introduction

The Boltz BTCPay Plugin allows any merchant to accept Lightning payments in a non-custodial way without running a Lightning node or fully manage liquidity of an existing Lightning node.

How does it work?

The Boltz BTCPay Plugin is mainly a UI for Boltz Client, our long-running swap daemon. The plugin downloads latest release binaries of Boltz Client by default, checks the PGP signature and, if all checks out, starts the daemon.

Building

To build and package the plugin for manual upload to your BTCPay Server, run the following commands inside the plugin's git repository:

git submodule update --init
dotnet publish BTCPayServer.Plugins.Boltz -o ./publish
dotnet run --project btcpayserver/BTCPayServer.PluginPacker ./publish BTCPayServer.Plugins.Boltz ./release
