Market Warnings

• Make sure to evaluate base fee and fee rate of parties you open channels to, or request incoming liquidity from.
• If purchasing incoming liquidity, make sure they’re not taking advantage by charging undisclosed high fees on the channel.
• A party volunteering incoming liquidity can set whatever fee policy covers their risk and costs.
• (2020-11-12) The current median fee base fee is 1.000000 sat, and the median fee rate is 0.000001 sat according to 1ml statistics. This is the same as defaults in the software.
• Due to risks and cost of operating a node, examples with high fee rate exist, e.g. up to 1 sat on large capacity channels, a million times higher than the default.
• (2022-07-01) A base fee of zero allows someone to send 1 million small transactions, causing a load on your node as each transaction requires a record in the database. A base fee greater than zero prevents this.
