Phoenix Wallet v2.3.3 and Server v0.3.0 Now Support BIP-353 DNS Addresses

Phoenix is a mobile Bitcoin wallet using Lightning to send and receive payments. Available on Android and iOS. Phoenixd is just like Phoenix for mobile, except it runs on a server.

Phoenix Wallet v2.3.3 and Server v0.3.0 Now Support BIP-353 DNS Addresses
  • "Phoenix now supports BIP-353 LN addresses. Phoenix (Android/iOS/Server) can all send to both BIP-353 and LNURL addresses," announced the project.
  • BIP-353 DNS addresses enable users to save their offers as DNS TXT records on a domain. A wallet can then perform a DNS lookup (DoH) on that domain to retrieve the offer for a given user, without directly contacting the domain.
"It allows users to have a user@domain email-like handle, which are much easier to share with friends or on social networks than a BOLT12 offer," was explained in the release notes.

To create your address, navigate to (you must have a channel):

  • Android: Settings > Experimental features.
  • Server: ./phoenix-cli getlnaddress.
  • iOS: Soon™.

What's new

  • Add support for BIP353 DNS addresses. "Phoenix now support paying BIP353 DNS addresses. The lookup is done through the Google DNS resolver, and we'll add other resolvers soon."
    • "As an experimental feature, Phoenix can also create a random BIP353 address on a domain provided by the LSP (phoenixwallet.me). Users can also self-host their offer on their own domain, or use third-party services."
  • Compatibility with Lightning address. "Phoenix can still pay LNURL-based lightning addresses. If the user tries to pay an email-like address, Phoenix will first perform a DNS lookup, then if it fails, attempt a LNURL request."
