Amboss doesn’t "slash funds" (like DeFi staking 😳) to enforce good Lightning node behavior.

We can’t take your BTC—because we never control your stack.

Instead, we use something stronger on our Magma Marketplace:

Reputation. 🗣

Here’s how:

1. Public track record – Like seller ratings on eBay, your node builds trust over time

2. Market visibility – Buyers see who follows through (finalizes offers, honors fees)

3. Earned trust – No deposits. No gatekeepers. Just uptime and follow-through

4. Better outcomes – Reliable routes. Stronger peers. Real accountability.

A reputation-based model protects your self-sovereignty—and still strengthens the network.
