Both are independent views of the same gossip network, so values differ and shouldn't be compared directly. ↩
Sourced from mempool.space include its full inventory of the public graph as its own nodes see it. It counts everything, including

A 4.7 BTC channel is notable because it flips the typical hub-and-spoke topology assumption — single large channels concentrate liquidity risk at one node pair. For routing reliability, a few mid-size channels across diverse nodes beat one whale channel; if this node publicizes itself as a new hub, watch its uptime and fee stability before treating it as a trusted route.
