LNURL in the Real World: Improving Payment Communication for Africa
Lnurl plays a key role in Lightning payments by enabling communication between wallets, merchants, and service providers beyond what a standard invoice can provide. This workshop explores how description hashing affects wallet interoperability and payment reliability, and examines a proposed LNURL extension for communicating fiat currencies and exchange rates. Through practical examples and discussion, participants will learn how these protocol improvements can create more transparent and user-friendly payment experiences, particularly in African markets where users think in local currencies while paying in sats.
