I got an email recently to join the Lexe beta program and was wondering if anyone else has and can give me the low down on how it works. I use rizful currently to maintain a cloud node, so I'm curious how it's similar or differs. My biggest question is with Lexe are you responsible for buying liquidity or is it provided to you? Thanks!

Never heard of Lexe or Rizful till just now. Instant cloud lightning nodes? Interesting.

Hi, are you familiar at all with rizful? Do you guys offer free inbound liquidity or do you have to purchase it like rizful? I'm happy with my setup at rizful and would need a reason to move things over, so sell it to me. Thanks!

Sure thing! Right now we are offering free inbound liquidity and free JIT channel open fees to all of our users. Eventually each user gets about 50k sats of free inbound liquidity; above that, you'll pay daily interest on your inbound liquidity, and you can continue to keep that liquidity so long as you continue paying interest - your channel never 'expires'. When that feature comes out there will be options to limit the amount of inbound liquidity so you have so you can stay below budget or pay nothing at all.
The other big benefits are we are self-custodial unlike Rizful (your nodes run inside a TEE that comes with remote attestation), and keeping your node online 24/7 is free.

Rizful gave me 200k sats of inbound liquidity for free when they were running their promotion looking for users to test their platform. The interest fee on my inbound liquidity also really turns me off. I understand you guys have to make money but I wouldn't move over when I'm not paying anything for my node/channel currently on Rizful. I appreciate you guys working to make running a node and opening a channel on the lightning network more accessible, but I don't think your platform is for me especially when I am already set up and running with Rizful.

I guess not one here is using lexe. afaict lexe manages more for you than rizful, but gives you fewer options - they appear to do automated liquidity management while rizful gives you the tools to do it for yourself.
@rizful_com can explain more maybe.
