Where Does the Yield Come From?
The yield generated for Rails Liquidity Providers (LPs) comes from two core activities on the Lightning Network: payment routing and liquidity leases through the Magma Marketplace .
-
Payment Routing: When you provide liquidity to the Lightning Network as a Rails LP, your Bitcoin helps facilitate transactions across the network. Every time a payment is routed through your node, you earn a small fee. These fees accumulate over time, contributing to your overall yield.
-
Liquidity Leases on Magma: The Magma Marketplace connects node operators like you with others needing liquidity to open or maintain payment channels. By leasing your liquidity, you earn additional returns while supporting the network’s dynamic efficiency. Over the past four years, we’ve seen yields from these activities on Magma range between 1-4% APY.
