Subject: [bitcoindev] Draft BIP: Well-Known Bitcoin Identity Endpoint

Hi all,

I'd like to propose a new BIP titled "Well-Known Bitcoin Identity Endpoint."
The goal is to improve the user experience for sending on-chain Bitcoin
payments by allowing wallets to resolve a Lightning Address into associated
on-chain addresses and additional metadata.

The idea is to define a simple, HTTPS-based standard for retrieving payment
and contact information via a .well-known endpoint,
generalizing the approach used by Lightning Address to support more payment
types and identity metadata.

You can find the draft BIP here:
https://github.com/aviv57/paysats/blob/main/bip/BIPXXX.MD

I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Thanks,
AvivB
