Didn’t realize that. Have an idea not sure how doable is it. What if there was a way to ‘zap’ that would lead to add new a inbound connection of that amount without actually sending the sats to the receivers lightening address. What would be the upsides and downsides of that?

There is none, but side channels. It’s all a big balancing act. Node cannot send more than it actually has🐶🐾🫡

Just for my understanding- say I ‘new-type-zap’ you but this would connect to your inbound address and add 10 sats to liquidity. That’s all it would do. Would it still be bound by the constraints you listed above?

Will not work. It’s all rooted in bitcoin, and once it is lifted to L2 (lightning) it is balanced in channels. You can’t spend what you don’t have. 🐶🐾🫡
