Verify with Branta
A simple safety check to confirm your Lightning payment destination before sending Bitcoin.

What is Branta Verification?
Verify with Branta is an optional security feature that lets you double-check a Lightning invoice before paying it on Lightning Bounties. When you see a "Verify Invoice - Branta" link under any payment form, clicking it opens a separate page that confirms the invoice destination is legitimate.

Where You'll Find Verification
You can use Branta verification in three ways on Lightning Bounties:
Account Deposits

Adding Rewards (Logged In)
Add Reward modal on bounty pages
Anonymous Contributions
Anonymous Add Reward flow

How to Verify an Invoice
Step 1: Generate Your Invoice
Complete your payment form (deposit, add reward, etc.)
Click "Generate Invoice" or similar button
Look for the QR code and invoice details
Step 2: Click Verify
Find the "Verify Invoice - Branta" link below the QR code

This optional yet highly-recommended safety check is especially critical for no-login users who lack account-based recovery options

Green "Verified" = Safe to pay
Red warning = DO NOT PAY - generate a new invoice
Step 4: Complete Payment
Return to Lightning Bounties and pay the invoice with your Lightning wallet.
