Hi all,
I'd like to propose a new BIP titled "Well-Known Bitcoin Identity Endpoint."
The goal is to improve the user experience for sending on-chain Bitcoin
payments by allowing wallets to resolve a Lightning Address into associated
on-chain addresses and additional metadata.
The idea is to define a simple, HTTPS-based standard for retrieving payment
and contact information via a .well-known endpoint,
generalizing the approach used by Lightning Address to support more payment
types and identity metadata.
You can find the draft BIP here:

I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
Thanks,
AvivB
