# Resources

Use these resources for official LND reference material and the Voltage-specific connection pages for a Node-backed deployment.

## Official LND API Reference

Use the [Lightning Labs LND API reference](https://lightning.engineering/api-docs/api/lnd/) to inspect services, methods, request fields, response fields, and streaming behavior.

## LND Source And Protobuf Definitions

Use the [official LND repository](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd) for releases, source, examples, and operational safety guidance.

Use the [official lnrpc directory](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/tree/master/lnrpc) as the source for protobuf definitions. Pin a compatible revision in the application build instead of generating clients from an untracked branch.

## Install And Operate LND

Use the [official LND installation reference](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md) for self-hosted installation context. Voltage manages the hosted-node boundary described in the Node-backed documentation; do not replace current Voltage connection material with self-hosted defaults.

## Voltage-Specific Setup

- [Configuration](/configuration) for the current endpoint, interface, macaroon, and TLS material.
- [REST](/rest) for HTTP integrations and REST encoding guidance.
- [GRPC](/grpc) for generated clients, authentication metadata, TLS credentials, and streaming behavior.
- [Node Security](/node-security) and [Macaroons](/macaroons) for access controls and credential handling.

## Scope

Payments API webhooks remain active for Payments integrations.

ThunderHub and Terminal Web belong in [Tools and Integrations](/tools-and-integrations), not in this official-resource list.
