# Lightning Address
### **Like an email address, but for your Bitcoin.**
## General Information
The Lightning Address is an [Internet Identifier](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1) that allows anyone to send you Bitcoin over the Lightning Network. No scanning of QR codes or pasting invoices necessary.
For more information check out the website: [lightningaddress.com](https://lightningaddress.com)
## Developers
If you are a developer aiming to introduce support for Lightning Addresses in your application, wallet, check the [DIY](./DIY.md) section.
## Bridge Servers
If you don't want to roll out an entire HTTP / LNURL server on your own setup/infrastructure, but already have a Lightning node you want to use for your Lightning Address? You can use a Bridge Server to ensure your Lightning Node can properly receive payments from your Lightning Address. Check the [Bridge Server](./BRIDGE.md) instructions for a plug-n-play solution.
