Today, Boltz is launching Boltz Pro, a service that lets users help Boltz manage its bitcoin wallet and Lightning channel liquidity, and I plan to test it out.
But first some background on how Boltz Pro works.
According to Kilian, a co-founder of Boltz, the balances of Boltz’s wallets and Lightning channels are constantly shifting, especially as the volume and velocity of sats flowing through the platform increases.
So, the idea behind Boltz Pro is that users can help provide liquidity for swaps in the event that Boltz’s balances run low.
Interesting, it works via negative fees:
So if I send 1m sats onchain to boltz, I would receive 1m sats + 594 sats on lightning. Mhh, interesting, but that doesn't include the mining fee. But if I would send them ~25m, I would earn 37.5k sats:
But I don't have so much inbound liquidity myself lol
also mentioned this in #830286

For everyday use, it could help enable a "free" swap and help negate onchain fees.

Good point

#830106 This is already the fourth post on SN about boltz in the last half an hour or so. This must be something very big.

The biggest Assmilker is you. The biggest bastard is you. The biggest asskisser is you. Your reality isn't hidden.
You're so pissed off because your assmilking has been interrupted.
Everyone can see what a big asshole you're pretending that you didn't get these millions from SN Rewards.
Now you can fuck off, asskisser.

hahaha I activated the feature to show my profile stats just to fish your shameful watch... It worth it.
Remember I am here from item#166, thing that you can't even imagine to exist. All my posts are PoW not like your assmilking posts.
Show me what YOU did for Bitcoin in 2024 (at least) #819271
Show me when you have over 23k posts on SN...
Whaaa 🤣🤣

oh you didn't know it yet? you are not paying too much attention of what is going on in SN... fuuuuck... I am wasting my sats and words on SN and nobody is paying attention... Soon you will remember my words.

Nice, but the rate will have to increase to make it attractive. It's easy to find ways to earn more than 1500ppm and those alternatives have other benefits on top op them (like it doesn't fill up my boltz channel and with opening a sink channel I can rebalance it for future profits).
I would be interested in this when rates were somewhere towards 3000ppm.
reply
Big fan of Boltz. Ever since opening a channel my routing increased and it helps rebalance channels. Boltz is great !
reply
Michael said these negative rates won't change too often. This means they mainly see flows from lightning into onchain (Bitcoin and Liquid). This makes sense, because paying a lightning invoice is truly anonymous, while getting paid doxes your node. So you don't earn free sats, but sell your privacy in the process.

Probably more because inbound liquidity is the scarce resource.
So you don't earn free sats, but sell your privacy in the process.
Use Bolt12 with blinded paths!

Sure. But to do it right requires spinning a new node and buying a private channel from someone. That someone will see your flows. So anonymity has costs and risks. That is why inbound liquidity is more scarce.

Thanks

Do you know which apps and programs are most commonly used with Bolt12 on your platform, or that you would recommend. Do you have to run your own node to use it?
reply
Most common for end users definitely Phoenix wallet, which supports Bolt12 since summer: https://x.com/PhoenixWallet/status/1808547081214439494

Thx! Stacker should change x.com links automatically ;)

💕 and I agree, looking forward to retirement
edit: Oh you mean SN should do that? I read stackers. I think it would be confusing if SN would mess with the comments of stackers. Also, xcancel cannot be relied upon, it can go down at any moment like all the other nitter instances.
