Lightning Loop v0.26.0-beta: Sweep HTLCs to Addresses Generated from xPub
Lightning Loop is a non-custodial service offered by Lightning Labs that makes it easy to move bitcoin into and out of the Lightning Network.
What's new
- "This new feature enables loop out and autoloop out operations to sweep htlcs to addresses generated from an extended public key."
- "A precondition for using the loop client in this fashion is onboarding a xpub account in the backing lnd instance, e.g.
lncli wallet accounts import xpub... my_loop_account --address_type p2tr --master_key_fingerprint 0df50
." - "Loop outs can then be instructed to sweep to a new derived address from the specified account, e.g:
loop out --amt 10000000 --account my_loop_account --address_type p2tr
." - "To use this functionality with autoloop out one has to set the backing lnd account and address type via liquidity parameters for autoloop, e.g.
loop --network regtest setparams --autoloop=true --account=my_loop_account --account_addr_type=p2tr ...
."
