Fund channels only with coins created on XBT after the chain split: coins from before the split also exist on Bitcoin and can be replayed there.
Inbound liquidity
Buy a channel to receive

Need to receive payments? Buy an inbound channel from the PyBLØCK Laguz node right inside Laguz: Channels → Buy Inbound.

  1. Channel size: 1,000,000 sats, opened from our node to yours.
  2. Price: 20,000 sats (2%) for 30 days, paid over Lightning. On-chain fees are on us.
  3. After 30 days the channel stays open as long as it was used. A channel with no payments in 30 days is closed cooperatively, and your balance goes back to your on-chain wallet.
  4. You pay only when the channel is published: if we can't open it, the payment returns to you automatically.
  5. One lease per node. Routing fees adjust with the channel balance.
