Video Tutorial

In this article we'll show you how to fund your wallet on Bitcoin Lightning Network. There are two primary ways to fund your wallet with Bitcoin. The first method is to purchase Bitcoin directly within your wallet, which is straightforward but often more expensive due to higher fees. The second method is to use a centralised exchange to purchase Bitcoin and then withdraw it on the Bitcoin Lightning Network directly to your wallet. Many centralised exchanges support the Lightning Network, including Binance, Kraken, and OKX. This method is usually cheaper because the fees are generally lower.

Set up a wallet

In this tutorial, we will use the second method and fund our Wallet of Satoshi using Binance. However, the process is similar for any exchange that supports the Lightning Network. Before we begin, ensure you have a Bitcoin Lightning Wallet, such as Wallet of Satoshi. If you don’t have one, check out our tutorial on how to set up a wallet on the Bitcoin Lightning Network.

Create your first invoice

Once you have everything set up, let’s begin! To receive Bitcoin on the Lightning Network, you need to create an invoice. To do this, tap on “Receive,” enter the amount you want to receive, and create the invoice. You will now see a QR code. You can either scan this QR code directly from the centralised exchange to send the Bitcoin to your wallet, or you can tap on the invoice hash to copy it.

Sending tokens from exchange

Next, go to your centralised exchange of choice and buy the desired amount of Bitcoin you want to fund your wallet with. After purchasing the coins, navigate to the withdrawal interface. Here, paste the invoice or scan the QR code from your wallet. Ensure you select Bitcoin Lightning Network as the network if needed. The amount of Bitcoin to send will be automatically filled in, and you will just need to tap on “Withdraw.” Once the transaction is processed on the exchange, go back to your wallet. After a few network confirmations, you should see the Bitcoin in your wallet. You now have Bitcoin in your Lightning Network wallet and can spend it as you wish! It's important to remember that while buying on centralised exchanges and then withdrawing to your wallet offers lower fees and faster transactions, it's essential to double-check all details during the process to avoid errors. Always ensure that you are sending the correct amount and to the correct address.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
