How this service works
Lightning Network Number of Channels — The number of public Lightning Network channels. The Lightning Network works by creating payment channels between two parties, where multiple transactions can be made without each individual transaction being recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain. These transactions are instead recorded off-chain, which makes them faster and cheaper. Data by Glassnode.
Output
An array of timestamped data points, each containing a Unix timestamp ('t') and the number of public Lightning Network channels ('v') at that point in time, reflecting daily resolution for Bitcoin.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Pull the Glassnode Lightning Network channel count data for Bitcoin so I can see how the number of public payment channels has been trending.”
