Overview OCEAN uses BOLT12 offers for Lightning payouts.

To ensure the security and anonymity of the payouts, OCEAN requires that a message is signed linking your OCEAN bitcoin address to a BOLT12 offer.

To do this, message signing will need to be supported by your wallet and/or signing device.

Once you have generated a BOLT12 offer, OCEAN will provide you with a message to sign.

Note: You must ensure that you have one or more Lightning channels and the necessary inbound liquidity to receive payments, otherwise payments to you will fail.

Should OCEAN be unable to pay via Lightning, your on-chain address will be used as a fallback once your earnings reach the payout threshold.
