最新报道:Lightning Network nodes are emerging as a passive income opportunity with potential returns of 3-5x, as adoption grows and transaction fees accumulate. Operators earn routing fees by facilitating Bitcoin payments, with some nodes generating steady revenue despite market volatility. Major exchanges like Kraken and Bitfinex now support Lightning, boosting liquidity and usability. Analysts note that while setup costs and technical knowledge remain barriers, node profitability is improving as network activity increases. Early adopters report annualized returns exceeding 100% in high-traffic periods, though earnings vary based on node size and routing efficiency. The Lightning Network's capacity recently surpassed 5,000 BTC ($300M), signaling maturing infrastructure for microtransactions.
