Acquiring inbound liquidity on the Lightning Network has historically been one of its most frustrating challenges. Between picking the right peer, choosing a channel size, and verifying uptime or routing reliability, many node operators, especially new ones, get stuck before they ever receive a payment.
Magma v2 fixes this.
You can now buy a Lightning channel to your node by simply paying a Lightning invoice. No account creation. No onboarding process. Just paste your node's pubkey, pay an invoice, and you're ready to receive payments.
Optimized by Amboss Intelligence
Magma leverages insights from Amboss's ongoing AI research to eliminate the complexity of getting great connections on the lightning network. Instead of asking users to choose a peer, guess the best channel size, or investigate node reputation, Magma now intelligently matches you with a high-performing node (or nodes) for the best price.
This optimization improves your payment success rate and ensures the channel you purchase actually helps your node function better on the Lightning Network.
Previously available only through recurring Liquidity Subscriptions, this level of intelligence is now available in Magma as a one-time purchase, giving users the flexibility to buy only when they need it, without a subscription.
