The Lightning Network has made a huge improvement in performance over the past year, serving micropayments --> everyday payments. This is a combination of improvements in network topology and asset appreciation vs the unit of account ($). image

We're 1 week away from the largest shopping day of the year, Black Friday. 🎁🎅 If you're planning to make sales via lightning, you'll need to fuel up your node with additional liquidity. We can help automate sourcing liquidity with our Hydro service: https://amboss.space/hydro Let us know if you need help setting it up!

⚡️The lightning network just broke through $500 million USD capacity!!⚡️ The technology behind secure, real-time payments of the future is not blockchain; it's #bitcoin. image #lightningnetwork

Our lightning channel marketplace, Magma, needs established nodes to start offering liquidity for large channels (>0.5 BTC). We have the buyers for these large channels but no channel sellers! Selling channels provides a way to earn Bitcoin without relinquishing custody.

A 1 million sat lightning channel can now process payments as large as $800. As the value of Bitcoin appreciates, the lightning network becomes capable of processing larger payments. This improvement requires no additional Bitcoin blockspace. #lightningnetwork #amboss

⚡️ The Lightning Network is crucial to Bitcoin’s scalability, but traditional metrics like capacity & node count offer an incomplete picture of its true potential. The key to understanding network health? Max Flow. 🔑 Max Flow measures how much value can reliably flow through the network, considering available liquidity. For decades, this concept has optimized industries like telecommunications, logistics, and transportation. Now, it’s doing the same for the Lightning Network. 📊 While traditional metrics focus on nodes or channels, Max Flow highlights payment reliability—the true measure of network performance. As the graphic shows, payment reliability changes with payment size. Lightning is particularly suited for micropayments today. 💡 By focusing on Max Flow, we move beyond capacity metrics and gain deeper insight into how well the network is routing payments. This gives a much clearer view of Lightning’s performance. 💸 One of the most exciting aspects of Max Flow? As Bitcoin’s price rises, the capacity for larger transactions on Lightning increases without any infrastructure changes. A $10K payment when BTC is $100K is just as easy as a $5K payment when BTC was $50K. 🔍 Instead of focusing on how many nodes exist, the question becomes: how well is liquidity being used? Max Flow helps identify where improvements can be made to ensure Bitcoin payments flow efficiently, no matter the size. 🚀 Max Flow isn’t just another metric—it’s the future of Lightning Network optimization. Investors and node operators who adopt this metric now will be well-positioned to scale the network and capitalize on its potential. 🌐 💡 Learn more about how Max Flow is revolutionizing the way we assess the Lightning Network: https://cryptoslate.com/the-metric-that-matters-for-the-lightning-network/

Fees paid by lightning network operators have drastically decreased over the past year (anomaly notwithstanding). image While force closes tend to get the most attention, channel opens pay more fees to miners in total than all channel closes. Lightning channels are clearly solving a problem because the urgency to start new lightning channels is greater than the urgency to close them.
