tip

Lokihub's default currency unit is Loki. 1 FLC = 100,000,000 Loki.

Channel Management​

Lightning channels let you send and receive instant payments. Lokihub helps you manage them.

Features:

  • Open Channels — Connect to other nodes to enable routing
  • Close Channels — Shut down channels and return funds on-chain
  • Manual Control — Open/close channels to specific peers
  • Liquidity Visualization — See how much you can send (outbound) vs receive (inbound)

Peer Management​

View and manage your connections to the Lightning Network.

  • See connected peers
  • Add new peers manually
  • Disconnect from peers you no longer need
  • Update node alias

App Connections (NWC)​

Connect external apps to your Lightning node using Nostr WalletConnect (NWC).

NWC is an open standard that lets apps request payments from your wallet without holding your keys. You grant permissions and can revoke access anytime.

How it works:

  1. Open an app that supports NWC
  2. In Lokihub, generate a connection string
  3. Scan the QR code or paste the connection string in the app
  4. Grant permissions (read-only, send up to X amount, etc.)
  5. Use the app—it can now request payments from your node

Examples of what you can connect:

  • Social apps that need zapping/tipping
  • Services that need payment authorization
  • Any NWC-compatible application

Learn more about the NWC standard at nwc.dev.
