Safety Assessment

This server provides both read and write capabilities related to Bitcoin and Lightning Network. While address validation and transaction decoding are relatively safe, the payment tool and key generation introduce risks if not handled securely. Use with caution, especially when dealing with real funds.

Address validation prevents sending funds to invalid addresses.
Transaction decoding is read-only, posing minimal risk.
Key generation is client-controlled, reducing server-side key exposure.
LN invoice decoding is read-only.

Payment tool allows spending funds from an LNBits wallet.
Improper handling of private keys during key generation could lead to theft.
Blockchain queries could expose user's transaction history if not used carefully.
Potential for misinterpretation of transaction details leading to incorrect actions.
