Over the past year, the lightning network capacity has remained almost completely flat IN BITCOIN TERMS. When viewed in USD terms, the lightning network capacity has grown by 149% or 2.5x. Not bad at all.

🌋 Magma is a marketplace for liquidity on the lightning network: 🤑 On the buy side of the market are merchant and retailer nodes that receive payments. ⚡ On the sell side of the market are node operators that are connected to the network that help merchants receive reliable payments. 🌊 Hydro automates the buy side of the market to help ease the burden of managing lightning channels for businesses. 🏠 ⚡ ❤️ Hydro supports a cottage industry of dedicated and connected node operators with compensation for their services connecting the lightning network to businesses. 🏦 While any one liquidity provider may become regulated, Magma operates as a service connecting many liquidity providers, "LSPs", to businesses to be more resilient to regulatory pressure while maintaining service reliability.
