That’s a wrap on #LightningNetwork routing in 2025!⚡️

We saw MASSIVE growth in routing volumes over the past year on #Nodelou🐈 and many other noderunners reported the same.

November was our biggest routing month EVER, both in terms of overall volume, and total fees earned. December came in a close second in terms of volume, but couldn’t match June’s average fee rates— so overall earnings were lower but still very strong.

We are hoping this upward trend will continue into 2026 and beyond with more merchant and corporate adoption.
