ln.fyi

Intro

ln.fyi is an open, real-time editorial dashboard for the Bitcoin Lightning Network described as an "Open Lightning Atlas." Published as Version 0.1 and released into the public domain, it presents network-wide metrics and a live directory of public nodes. The project is offered for free and states that no accounts are required and no tracking is performed.

Key Features

• Network metrics: displays total capacity, public channels, active nodes, Tor nodes, average channel size, and average fee rate. The site sources data from mempool.space.
• Live node directory and profiles: lists public Lightning Network nodes with rankings by liquidity, connectivity, or age.
• Interactive node table: rows can be tapped to open a node profile showing capacity, channels, first-seen information and related details.
• Openness and license: published as Version 0.1 and licensed to the public domain; offered without accounts or tracking.

Limitations and dependencies: the dashboard covers only public nodes and depends on mempool.space for its data. It is an early-stage release (Version 0.1), which users should consider when relying on coverage or feature completeness.

Who this is for

• Users who need live Lightning Network metrics (capacity, nodes, channels, activity) and a transparent view of public network statistics.
• Operators or researchers seeking a live directory of public Lightning Network nodes and quick access to node profiles and rankings.
• People who prefer a free, no-account, no-tracking interface and are comfortable with a tool that depends on external data providers and is in an early release state.
