Due to the recent data inaccuracies encountered on 1ml.com, I have developed a new, independent search engine and analytics platform dedicated to the Lightning Network community. The project, is designed to provide node runners and developers with more reliable and granular insights into the network's topology. Key features currently available include: Comprehensive Node Search: A fast and intuitive interface for exploring the network. Historical Fee Data: Tracking how routing policies and fees evolve over time. Advanced Ranking Metrics: Data-driven insights to help users assess node reliability and performance. Historical Analytics: In-depth statistics that go beyond real-time snapshots. Explore the dashboard here:

I was doing some stats today on the lightning network and was suprised to notice that only around 4800 nodes have or have more than 3 channels. Usually we see on amboss, mempool numbers around 14-17k. Never thought the reality is just around 1/3

Node runners toolbox, get detailed information about the fees around your node so you can better manage your own fees. Check how well is your node connected and simulate new connections or simply check payment success probability.
