LIGHTNING-LISTCHAINMOVES(7)			     LIGHTNING-LISTCHAINMOVES(7)

NAME
     listchainmoves  --  Command to get the audit list of all onchain coin move-
     ments.

SYNOPSIS
     listchainmoves [index [start] [limit]]

DESCRIPTION
     Command added in v25.09.

     The listchainmoves command returns the confirmed  balance	changes  onchain
     over time.

     *	index  (string, optional) (always "created"): How to interpret start and
	limit
     *	start (u64, optional): If index is specified, start may be specified  to
	start  from  that  value,  which  is  generally returned from lightning-
	wait(7).
     *	limit (u32, optional): If index is specified, limit can be used to spec-
	ify the maximum number of entries to return.

RETURN VALUE
     On success, an object containing chainmoves is returned. It is an array  of
     objects, where each object contains:

     *	created_index  (u64):  1-based index indicating order this move was cre-
	ated in.
     *	account_id (string): This is either the channel_id corresponding to  the
	channel involved, or a string such as wallet for the internal wallet, or
	external for some other external source.
     *	credit_msat (msat): Amount credited (one of this or debit_msat is zero)
     *	debit_msat (msat): Amount debited (one of this or credit_msat is zero)
     *	timestamp (u64): Time of this event in seconds since January 1 1970 UTC
     *	primary_tag  (string) (one of "deposit", "withdrawal", "penalty", "chan-
	nel_open", "channel_close", "delayed_to_us", "htlc_tx",  "htlc_timeout",
	"htlc_fulfill", "to_wallet", "anchor", "to_them", "penalized", "stolen",
	"ignored", "to_miner"): A set of one or more tags defining the nature of
	the change
     *	extra_tags (array of strings): A set of additional tags expanding on the
	details:
	*  (string, optional) (one of "opener", "leased", "stealable", "splice",
	   "foreign")
     *	utxo  (outpoint):  The	txid  and outpoint number spent for this balance
	change.
     *	output_msat (msat): The output amount (always a whole number  of  sats).
	Note  that  in	some cases (e.g. channel opens), not all these belong to
	us.
     *	blockheight (u32): The block number where  txid  appeared  (alternately,
	where utxo was spent).
     *	peer_id  (pubkey, optional): The lightning peer associated with this on-
	chain event
     *	originating_account (string, optional): This is either a channel_id cor-
	responding to the source channel involved, or a string	such  as  wallet
	for the internal wallet.
     *	spending_txid  (txid, optional): The transaction ID which did the spend-
	ing.
     *	payment_hash (hash, optional): The payment  hash  associated  with  this
	balance change.
     *	output_count  (u32, optional): The number of outputs in the txid (so you
	can tell once you've seen events for all of them).

ERRORS
     On failure, one of the following error codes may be returned:

     *	-32602: Error in given parameters.
