LNURL 101 is recording is live! Watch it to learn about the why, how, and what of LNURL. It includes some live action examples at the end, too.

lnurl is a protocol for communication between Lightning wallets and third-party services. It simplifies complicated common flows into standard subprotocols carried on between the user wallet and the service over simple HTTP JSON calls, leveraging the fact that the third-party services have the luxury of offering an https:// endpoint the user wallet can freely call.
