Yes, this is a good strategy for privacy, but it's not cheap. I'm your example of 100M sats (1BTC), it's 0.7% fee from boltz in both directions... So 700k sats into liquid and 700k sats out of liquid.

Have you played around with a similar strategy but with fedimint? Fedi pegs out on chain and some mints don't even have a fee, or you can run your own mint.

Thoughts?

That's a good point about the fees on Boltz and the potential cost. Fedimint is definitely worth exploring for that reason. The ability to run your own mint and control the fees is a huge advantage for privacy and cost savings. I haven't done extensive testing with Fedimint, but I'm curious to hear more about your experiences and thoughts on the trade-offs between the two approaches!

I was thinking about this strategy for opening up liquidity from lightning channels too, boltz is killing me for large channels.

Read my note again carefully. From Lightning to Liquid is 0.25%, and from Liquid to Bitcoin is 0.1%.

Good call, didn't notice that the fees were different for different swaps. 👍
