Boltz Pro: A New Way to Earn Bitcoin
Boltz Pro is a new service launched by Boltz, aimed at allowing users to earn bitcoin for providing liquidity.
Users can help manage Boltz's bitcoin wallet and Lightning channel liquidity, potentially earning sats in a non-custodial manner.
How Boltz Pro Works
According to Boltz co-founder Kilian, Boltz's wallet and Lightning channel balances are constantly changing due to the flow of sats through the platform.
Boltz Pro incentivizes users to provide liquidity by setting negative fees when the platform's bitcoin supply runs low.
For example, when Boltz is short on base chain bitcoin, it might offer a -0.15% fee for bitcoin-to-Lightning swaps, effectively paying users to swap.
Once enough volume has refilled Boltz's wallet, the fees will return to normal levels.
No Sign-Up Needed for Boltz Pro
Users don't need to sign up to participate in Boltz Pro; they just need to monitor pro.boltz.exchange for negative fee opportunities.
Boltz maintains a non-custodial approach, meaning users keep control of their funds while earning sats.
