MagmaLiquidity Marketplace

Liquidity Marketplace

The Magma liquidity marketplace connects Lightning node operators who need inbound capacity with those who can provide it.

How It Works

Magma uses “HODL” invoices to create simple smart contracts. This technology enables channel sellers to receive Lightning payments only if they open the channel that they agreed to open within a very short timeframe. Additionally, this technology allows Magma to facilitate the transaction without ever taking custody of user funds.

Using HODL invoices comes with a few tradeoffs, but the result is that channels need to be opened and confirmed quickly, making this a very responsive market to liquidity needs.

Order Flow

This is how the flow of statuses works in a Magma order.
