1. Lightning Loop Alpha released: An Easier Way to Revive payment capacity on Lightning Network
Lightning Labs has released a new feature named as Lightning Loop. a non-custodial service that makes it easier for people to receive funds and revive payment receiving capacity on Lightning network. it is a bitcoin payment channel innovation aimed at scaling the cryptocurrency.
According to Lightning Labs- “Lightning channels are like tubes of money: the more you send the more you can receive, and the other way around. Money moves around in the tube, but the total amount of funds remains constant. So, unlike other payment systems, Lightning requires “inbound capacity” in order to receive funds.
Lightning Loop Out will solve this problem, Lightning Loop allows users to increase their receiving capacity by offloading their funds from the network while keeping channels open.”
This can fairly work on sites which work in field area of, earning satoshis on microwork sites, faucets, to selling goods with Lightning, to sending peer-to-peer payments around the globe, where the capacity to receive is key.
The Future of Loop
In their next release, Lightning Labs are planning to add Loop In, which empowers users to refill their Lightning channels with on-chain bitcoin from wallets or exchanges.
The vision for Lightning Loop is to enable users to safely move assets all through the Lightning Network utilizing non-custodial Bitcoin contracts. With Loop, users, businesses, and directing node operators can keep Lightning channels open indefinitely, making the network more efficient, more stable, and less expensive to use.
As of now, Loop Out transactions are limited to a maximum of 0.01 BTC (1M sats) for initial release. No usage fees will be charged during the alpha, but on-chain fees will apply. Interested ones can try Loop Out.
