Core Lightning 26.04 "Negative Routing Fees" has shipped. Splicing is out of experimental, the node runs leaner, and peer messages are now padded to resist traffic analysis. ⚡ Splicing lets you resize channels without closing them, cutting open/close overhead, freeing idle capital, and ending reliance on centralized liquidity providers. 26.04 also ships parallel pathfinding improvements, payer notes on xpay, and roughly 20% smaller binaries.
