Danny Morabito on Nostr: You CANNOT Derive the UTXO that Funded the Channel from the Invoice A Lightning ...
You CANNOT Derive the UTXO that Funded the Channel from the Invoice A Lightning invoice has no information about which channel the payment will go through nor which UTXO funded that channel. There's no public link between a Lightning invoice and the funding transaction. A node can have many channels funded from different UTXOs. Payments are routed through multiple nodes, the sender often doesn’t even know which node will receive the sats either, for example when using bolt12, or when using a lightning router service
