Withdraw from an exchange

This guide will help you pay for the invoice with funds from an exchange when setting up your first channel in Alby Hub. 🚀

When setting up Alby Hub for the first time, you'll need to pay an invoice to open a channel. This is a Lightning Network invoice, which means it can only be paid with Lightning (off-chain) satoshis. If your bitcoin are on an exchange, make sure it supports lightning network withdrawals so you can pay that invoice directly from your exchange account. 😊

To withdraw Bitcoin from an exchange via the Lightning Network, refer to the table below. Each link provides the specific steps for withdrawing bitcoin (satoshis) from that exchange.
