Jesse Shrader is the CEO of Amboss, a data analytics platform built for the Lightning Network that also offers a marketplace for buying and selling Lightning channels. In our conversation, we covered the adoption of Amboss’ Magma marketplace to date, how their new product Hydro aims to help merchants and those seeking yields on their Lightning liquidity, and we examined the structure of the Lightning Network in the context of other transportation networks. → Amboss Hydro: https://amboss.space/hydro/intro Sponsors → Voltage: https://stacksats.how/voltage → Stakwork: https://stacksats.how/stakwork This show is a Lightning podcast.
