It's official!
We've now paid out over 1 BTC in yields from leasing lightning channels. 🥂
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Have a great weekend lightning node runners!
May you route many payments ⚡
#lightningnetwork
Rails just fulfilled a 1.2 BTC channel lease, enabling lightning payments to be as high as $130,000 while earning 1.4% APY.
Lightning isn't just for micro payments anymore.
If you want ultra-fast payment processing for large payments, let's talk. 
Every node on Rails is different because they each serve different parts of the Lightning economy with reliable payments.
While some nodes earn more from Liquidity Leasing, others earn more from routing payments.
Your bitcoin is now infrastructure.
Rails as a yield service relies on our Intelligence API, which is continuously improving and learning.
Our latest RL model, ASPEN, delivers channel recommendations that improve payment success rates which are 23% better than Alder, our starter model, & 200% better than random.
To make sense of this, you'll need to grok our Max Flow metric, which identifies bottlenecks in the Lightning Network.
Simulating Max Flow is costly, making it a perfect application for AI and Machine Learning.

We're making this intelligence available with Liquidity Subscriptions to optimize channel purchases for automated liquidity as well as with Rails, our automated yield service.
We're excited to be delivering great products that make Lightning easier and more decentralized since that helps Bitcoin scale and reach more people.
Thanks for reading and be sure to repost the update!
By strategically deploying Bitcoin on the Lightning Network, we're making larger payments possible over the Lightning Network.
That means instant transactions for what was previously only possible via onchain transactions or international wire transfers.
Rails has brought more liquidity to the Magma Marketplace, now delivering over 48 BTC to support merchants, wallets, and exchanges.
To get higher payment reliability through smart channel selection, use Liquidity Subscriptions starting at just $5/month.

Commerce on the Lightning Network is heating up!
While transaction counts aren't possible to track, the price of liquidity has skyrocketed as evidenced by the fees surrounding lightning's LOOP submarine swap service.
Lightning routing is becoming very lucrative! 🧵 
There are 3 ways to tap into this market to start earning bitcoin without giving up custody: (from hardest to easiest)
1) open a channel to the LOOP node (expert level)

2) create an offer on Magma (intermediate difficulty)
3) Sign up for Rails (easy mode)
You can just automate things
Here's the lowdown on Rails.
The yield service that isn't from hand-waving.
Who will be the first Bitcoin Treasury Company to adopt lightning-derived yield?
Introducing Rails — a self-custodial Bitcoin yield service that empowers you to earn on your Bitcoin while supporting the Lightning Network!
Automated, ML-optimized node management
Simple to use
No lending and no rehypothecation
Let’s bring Bitcoin to the World.
That's just one hour of vibe coding away from reality!
This is the signal. 
After 5 years building tools for the Lightning Network, we know that channel management is really difficult, which is why we built our own AI to maximize revenue capacity, solving the "inbound liquidity problem".
This AI is built right into our Liquidity Subscriptions, which advances decentralized payments.
Are you ready to make your sats work for you?

What is the right LSP for you?
Finding good liquidity in the Lightning Network is a really hard problem, but is critical if we want to move the global economy onto Bitcoin.
This presentation is a deep dive on the tooling and intelligence we're applying in Liquidity Subscriptions.

🚀 Ditch the bank with stablecoins on Lightning!
Say goodbye to:
⏳ 3-day transfer waits
💸 3%+ credit card fees
And hello to:
⚡️ Instant transaction settlements
🏷️ Just 0.5% to accept payments (6X cheaper!)
💰 Better cash flow with capital that keeps moving
Built on the decentralized financial rails of tomorrow.
Legacy finance? Slow.
Lightning? FAST. 💥
One Lightning integration is better than 10 centralized blockchains.
5 reasons to simplify your payment stack with Lightning:
- Instant settlement - Faster, final payments with no intermediaries
- Global scale - Can process unlimited transactions-per-second (TPS) with minimal fees
- Multi-asset support - Transact BTC, stablecoins, and more via Taproot Assets
- Built-in resilience – Peer-to-peer design with no centralized validators
- Simplified ops - One network, not ten connections to manage
Less work. Lower cost. More reach.
Lightning is the integration of choice. ⚡️
Announcing: Amboss Liquidity Subscriptions!
⚡ Dynamic, automated infrastructure designed specifically for your business
✅ Improve payment success
📉 Reduce costs
Never miss a payment again.
You no longer need permission to build financial infrastructure.
All you need is some Bitcoin and the desire to make it productive.
With Lightning, you call the shots:
✅ No central approval needed to run a node
✅ No custodial platform required to earn yield
✅ No gatekeepers standing between peers
It’s a parallel system to traditional payments...
Built by us, its users.
Financial freedom starts when you stop asking if you're allowed. 👏
Lightning can scale to unlimited transactions per second. 😲
Here’s 4 reasons why this is possible—without changing Bitcoin’s base layer:
1. Peer-to-peer updates - Payments are private state changes within channels (not global broadcasts)
2. No mining delay - Transactions confirm instantly with digital signatures
3. Horizontal scaling - Throughput grows as new nodes and channels join the network
4. Decentralized coordination - Solutions like Amboss provide the data and visibility needed to optimize efficient payments across millions of future peers
With Lightning, the future truly is limitless. 🚀
