Liquidity Advertisements
summary
A spec extension implemented in c-lightning adds liquidity ads as extra data on node announcements so nodes advertise payable inbound capacity with explicit terms: flat fee and basis-rate (PPM), on-chain weight reimbursement (UTXO bytes that the opener pays), and a max routing-fee cap that commits to how costly using that inbound liquidity can be. Ads gossip around the network with node-announcement updates rate-limited to five minutes and channel-fee visibility often taking an hour; a GUI lookup tool is in development.
