Lightning Withdrawals

Withdraw Real Bitcoin Sats

Your earned sats are real Bitcoin — withdraw them to any Lightning wallet, anywhere in the world. Here's everything you need to know about getting your sats out.

Reach your threshold faster on paid tiers. Paid tier users benefit twice — lower withdrawal minimums and higher per-task earnings. A Founders user can withdraw up to 2.5× sooner than a Basic user completing the same tasks. Exact fees are always shown transparently before you confirm any withdrawal.

Step by Step

How to Withdraw

1

Reach your tier minimum

Keep earning until your available (matured) balance meets your tier's withdrawal minimum. Only matured sats count toward this — pending and maturing sats don't.

2

Open the withdrawal screen

From your dashboard, click Withdraw. You'll see your available balance and the exact fee for this withdrawal — no hidden charges.

3

Enter your Lightning address

Paste a Lightning invoice or LNURL from your Lightning wallet. Don't have one yet? Set one up first — it takes a couple of minutes.

4

Confirm and receive

Confirm the withdrawal. Sats typically arrive in your wallet within seconds to a few minutes. If a withdrawal ever fails, your sats are returned to your balance automatically.

The 15-Day Maturity Period

Before any sats can be withdrawn, they pass through a maturity period. This applies to every user on every tier — it's the backbone of our fraud protection.

Any Lightning-compatible wallet works. Just make sure it supports LNURL-pay or Lightning invoices. Withdrawals are Lightning-only at this time — we don't currently support on-chain Bitcoin withdrawals, though many wallets let you swap Lightning sats to on-chain if needed.

Set Up a Wallet in 2 Minutes

Never used a Bitcoin wallet before? No problem. You only need one when you're ready to withdraw — and the simplest options take about two minutes to set up.

1

Download a wallet

Pick one of the Lightning wallets above and install it from your app store. Wallet of Satoshi or Blink are the easiest to start with — just open the app, no setup forms.

2

Find your receive address

Tap Receive in your wallet. You'll get either a Lightning address (looks like an email) or you can generate a Lightning invoice. Either one works for SatsEarn.

3

Withdraw from SatsEarn

Once your sats are matured and meet your tier minimum, paste your Lightning address or invoice into the withdrawal screen and confirm. Sats usually arrive in seconds.

Tip for total beginners: custodial wallets like Wallet of Satoshi and Blink are the quickest to start with. Self-custodial wallets (Phoenix, Muun, Breez) give you full control of your keys — a good step once you're comfortable. Both receive sats from SatsEarn the same way.

SatsEarn is not affiliated with any wallet provider. Wallet names are listed for convenience — always download wallets from official sources and keep your recovery phrase private.

Withdrawal Questions

Good to Know

Can I withdraw to an on-chain Bitcoin address?

Not currently — withdrawals are Lightning-only. On-chain fees make small sat amounts impractical. Many Lightning wallets let you swap to on-chain Bitcoin afterward if you need to.

Do pending or maturing sats count toward my minimum?

No. Only matured, available sats count toward your tier's withdrawal minimum. You can watch each entry's countdown in your dashboard as it moves from maturing to available.

What happens if my withdrawal fails?

Your sats return to your available balance automatically — nothing is lost. Common causes are an invalid Lightning address or an expired invoice. Just double-check and try again.

How do I lower my withdrawal minimum?

Upgrade to a paid tier. Minimums drop from 25,000 sats (free) down to 10,000 sats (Founders), and you earn more per task too — reaching payout far faster. See paid tiers →
