With the reduced fees on Bitcoin transactions, the lightning network is in a state of flux as old channels are closed and new channel portfolios are created. For businesses with consistent liquidity needs, we have Hydro available to automate constant liquidity amidst the flux. image #lightning #lightningnetwork #nodes #amboss amboss.space/hydro/intro

Nodes using Hydro collectively control 49 BTC of capacity on the lightning network. In just our first week, we've already delivered over 1 BTC of capacity to these managed nodes. image It's exciting to see businesses benefitting from decentralized payments infrastructure!

It's only been a few days but already node operators are saying that they don't want to manage lightning channels. They want to set it and forget it. Receive payments to your own node without relinquishing custody. #hydro #LightningNetwork #automation #lightning

"Until now, sourcing liquidity for businesses on the LN has been a challenging endeavor, as entrepreneurs typically lack the time and expertise needed to manage a LN node. Consequently, the adoption of Lightning has been slow for retailers using full nodes, often forcing them to turn to trusted custodians, thereby sacrificing some of the privacy and sovereignty advantages offered by Bitcoin. With Hydro, businesses can finally tap into the full benefits of LN adoption without the associated hassles."

Get ready ⚡️node runners! We're releasing Hydro to quench "thirsty" lightning nodes! Let's dive in to our solution to the biggest problem of the Lightning Network: Channel management takes too much time. Here’s how to automate and take back control of your payment network. Hydro solves the steep learning curve of lightning node operation with a simple automation service, aimed at businesses. Amboss sources lightning channel liquidity from decentralized sources, including nodes on Magma. Hydro can make any node an LSP. image We created two hydro plans to start: Capacity & Inbound Liquidity Capacity Management uses public information to manage the size of your node. This is best for privacy-minded operators. Inbound Liquidity Management uses self-reported information to ensure cost efficiency. image I can't promise Flow 5.0, but Hydro simplifies nodes. It automatically solves liquidity problems and paves a path towards a decentralized, credit-free payment system that settles in real time, globally. Is your lightning node ready for business? image https://amboss.space/hydro

We're approaching 2500 lightning channels opened since we launched Magma, a first-of-its-kind lightning channel marketplace in April 2022. Magma continues to be an extremely valuable service to shape the lightning network to align with market forces.
