Lightning Network Base Fee (Median)

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metrics/lightning/base_fee_median

The median base fee in the Lightning Network in Satoshi, derived from the channel graph. Base fees are fees that have to be paid for each payment that is routed through the channel. For payments between two peers that share a direct channel connection no fees have to be spent.

Lightning Network Capacity

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metrics/lightning/network_capacity_sum

The total amount of BTC locked in the Lightning Network. The Bitcoin Lightning Network is a Layer 2 payment protocol built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. It is designed to provide faster, cheaper, and more scalable transactions than traditional on-chain Bitcoin transactions.

Lightning Network Channel Size (Mean)

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metrics/lightning/channel_size_mean

The mean BTC size of public Lightning Network channels. The Lightning Network works by creating payment channels between two parties, where multiple transactions can be made without the need for each individual transaction to be recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain. These transactions are instead recorded off-chain, which makes them faster and cheaper.

Lightning Network Fee Rate (Median)

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metrics/lightning/fee_rate_median

The median fee rate in the Lightning Network, derived from the channel graph. On top of a base fee, fees for payments are proportional to the transferred amount. Values here are given in units sat / BTC. E.g., a value of 1000 indicates that a fee of 1000 Satoshi is required to transfer 1 BTC.

Lightning Network Gini Capacity Distribution

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metrics/lightning/gini_capacity_distribution

The Gini coefficient of the Lightning network capacity is a statistical measure of the distribution of Bitcoin capacity among the nodes on the Lightning Network. It is calculated by comparing the actual distribution of Bitcoin capacity among the nodes to a hypothetical uniform distribution. It ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 representing perfect equality and 1 representing maximum inequality. A higher Gini coefficient indicates a more unequal distribution of Bitcoin capacity among nodes, while a lower Gini coefficient indicates a more even distribution of Bitcoin capacity. The Gini coefficient of the Lightning network capacity can be used to monitor the degree of centralization and potential risks associated with a highly concentrated distribution of Bitcoin capacity.

Lightning Network Gini Channel Distribution

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metrics/lightning/gini_channel_distribution

The Gini coefficient of the Lightning network channel distribution is a statistical measure of the distribution of numbers of channels among the nodes on the Lightning Network. It is calculated by comparing the actual distribution of channels among the nodes to a hypothetical uniform distribution. It ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 representing perfect equality and 1 representing maximum inequality. A higher Gini coefficient indicates a more unequal distribution of channel numbers among nodes, while a lower Gini coefficient indicates a more even distribution of channel counts. The Gini coefficient of the Lightning network channel distribution can be used to monitor the degree of centralization and potential risks associated with a highly concentrated influence of network nodes.
