Evolution has many steps. Liquid is really nice for balancing lightning channels btw, without all the unnecessary routing which brings the risk of stuck HTLCs which being force closures. In the end I think there will be lots of options for many people.

How does liquid help with balancing lightning channels?
Setup peerswap on your node, and swap lightning out or in for liquid for literally pennies.
nostr:npub1m5mr8y7wgvcufav43hgda376xsm0t5qrerur30m23ek6w8gmn88q9hympt do you know if nodes can advertise via the LN network that they support peerswap? I’ve run peerswap on signet but never mainnet. Biggest hurdles seem to be running a Liquid node and adding peers to an approved/trusted list.
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
