Lightning Network Crypto Swapping Desks: A Comprehensive Review

Boltz Exchange is a non-custodial service that enables atomic swaps across Lightning, Bitcoin, Liquid, and Arbitrum. It provides a convenient way to convert between different networks, allowing users to maintain control over their funds at each step of the process.

Submarine Swaps is another technology developed within the Lightning Network, which allows movement of Bitcoin between the Lightning Network and Bitcoin's blockchain. This protocol uses hashed timelock contracts to link on-chain transactions to Lightning payments, making trust minimized cross-layer Bitcoin swaps possible without a traditional custodial service.

LightningNetwork+ is a community-focused service that assists collaboration amongst the community of Lightning Network Services. It provides support for dual, triangular, square, and larger liquidity structures, enhancing inbound and outbound Lightning capacity.
