Lightning Channel ID Decoder

The Lightning Network (LN) uses short channel IDs as unique identifiers for payment channels. This converter helps you transform a short channel ID into its corresponding components:

• Block: The block height where the funding transaction of the channel was confirmed.
• Transaction: The transaction index within that block.
• Output: The output index of the funding transaction.

For example, the short channel ID 880174451395198976 is an identifier of a channel in LN gossip data. By using this converter, you can extract the block, transaction, and output information. This is what we see in various LN explorers.

The result will be displayed in the format: (Block x Transaction x Output), for example: (800514 x 3017 x 0).

For more details, refer to the Lightning Network documentation.
