Balances
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Pending Liquidity Demanded | This represents the liquidity that your management plans have identified as a requirement, but Hydro has yet to secure from the market. |
| Excess Liquidity Purchased | This is the additional liquidity that Hydro acquired beyond what your plan specified. Such situations arise when there isn't an offer sufficiently small to match your request. |
| Pending Liquidity Ordered | This represents the liquidity that Hydro is actively procuring from the market. |
FAQ
Why do I need to connect a Lightning node?
Hydro is expertly designed to offer liquidity to Lightning nodes, ensuring seamless payment reception.
Why do I need to buy prepaid credits?
Hydro automates the liquidity purchase process, eliminating the need for you to manually handle invoices or monitor other liquidity acquisitions. Once your liquidity needs are met, the cost is conveniently deducted from your credit balance.
Why do I need to push my node's balances?
You're not required to! While pushing balances allows us to make more informed decisions about your liquidity, it's not essential for using Hydro. We offer alternative management plans that utilize only publicly available data about your node.
