withdraw

withdraw -- Command for withdrawing funds from the internal wallet

SYNOPSIS

withdraw destination satoshi [feerate] [minconf] [utxos]

DESCRIPTION

The withdraw RPC command sends funds from Core Lightning's internal wallet to the address specified in destination.

  • destination (string): Any Bitcoin accepted type, including bech32.
  • satoshi (sat_or_all): The amount to be withdrawn from the internal wallet (expressed, as name suggests, in satoshi). The string all can be used to specify withdrawal of all available funds (possibly restricted by the utxos parameter, and note that if we have any anchor channels, this will always leave at least min-emergency-msat as change). Otherwise, it is in satoshi precision; it can be a whole number, a whole number ending in sat, a whole number ending in 000msat, or a number with 1 to 8 decimal places ending in btc.
  • feerate (feerate, optional): Used for the withdrawal as initial feerate. The default is normal.
  • minconf (u16, optional): Minimum number of confirmations that used outputs should have. The default is 1.
  • utxos (array of outpoints, optional): Specifies the utxos to be used to be withdrawn from, as an array of txid:vout. These must be drawn from the node's available UTXO set.:
    • (outpoint, optional)

RETURN VALUE

On success, an object is returned, containing:

  • tx (hex): The fully signed bitcoin transaction.
  • txid (txid): The transaction id of tx.
  • psbt (string): The PSBT representing the unsigned transaction.

ERRORS

On failure, an error is reported and the withdrawal transaction is not created.

  • -1: Catchall nonspecific error.
  • 301: There are not enough funds in the internal wallet (including fees) to create the transaction.
  • 302: The dust limit is not met.
  • 313: The min-emergency-msat reserve not be preserved (and we have anchor channels).
