CLBoss

Bitcoin Nodes

CLBoss is an automated Lightning Network channel management plugin for Core Lightning (CLN) that handles channel opening, fee setting, and rebalancing without manual intervention. It continuously analyzes routing data to decide when to open new channels, how to set competitive fees, and when to rebalance liquidity — making it ideal for operators who want a set-and-forget routing node on Core Lightning.
