If I understand correctly, every bitcoin purchase on Relai is on-chain transaction. Aren't you afraid that you lead customers into creating many small UTXOs which might be very impractical in the future high fees environment? Thank you.

We are definitely aware of such a potential issue, it's true that at some point low amount orders can/will end up being dust. We are therefore working on the following solutions:
  • increase the minimum buy amount (currently 25 CHF/EUR)
  • updated the referral program not to send too small earnings to the user's wallet (only once user accumulated 10 CHF/EUR)
  • working on a solution to encourage users to consolidate: it's more tricky than it sounds as we have a lot of newbies as users
  • moving to lightning: we recently released our non-custodial lightning wallet and we'll keep improving from here on to also provide buy/sell orders to lightning directly

Buying directly into LN is definitely a desired feature. I will start using Relai once that's implemented.

Just make all small transactions forcibly to Lightning. Only when the user wants to go on-chain, let him when he sees and agrees to the fee at that time.
