How does liquid help with balancing lightning channels?
Discussion
Setup peerswap on your node, and swap lightning out or in for liquid for literally pennies.

I brought it up with the Lightning network plus guys. I listed it on my nodes (slicksparks.ky and Voltorb) on 1ML. I've got three peers but only 1 has Liquid available. It's fast and really works good. I use one node and wallet for both.
I wish peerswap would gain some traction. It’s one of many ways Liquid can help balance lightning liquidity. https://github.com/ElementsProject/peerswap
for plebs, you can do liquid/lightning swaps using nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970
for bigger players, you can use peerswaps. strike wrote a blog post about it recently https://strike.me/blog/peerswaps/
