title: 'LNHANCE'
summary: 'A proposed Bitcoin soft fork bundle that combines new script features to enable richer Lightning, Ark, vault, and shared-UTXO designs.'
category: 'Bitcoin'
aliases: ['LNhance', 'LNHANCE soft fork', 'LNhance soft fork']

LNHANCE is a proposed Bitcoin soft fork bundle aimed at making advanced contract constructions easier to express on chain. The proposal combines [OP_CTV](/topics/op-ctv), [OP_CSFS](/topics/op-csfs), `OP_PAIRCOMMIT`, and `OP_INTERNALKEY` to support protocols that need more structured spending conditions than Bitcoin exposes today.

Added issues for OP_PAIRCOMMIT (#871) and OP_INTERNALKEY (#872)


Its designers frame the bundle around practical second-layer and custody use cases. The proposal is meant to improve designs for [Eltoo](/topics/eltoo)-style Lightning channels, [Ark](/topics/ark)-like systems, vaults, payment pools, and other shared-UTXO constructions that benefit from predictable transaction trees and more flexible signature checks.

LNHANCE remains a proposal. It has not been activated on Bitcoin, and the tradeoffs are still being explored in research, specifications, and proof-of-concept implementations such as the LNHANCE Expedition work funded by OpenSats.
