You cannot scale a payment network you cannot see. That simple observation is the reason we are partnering with Amboss. Founded in 2021 by Jesse Shrader and Anthony Potdevin and based in Nashville, Amboss has become the de facto data and liquidity layer for the Bitcoin Lightning Network, used by node operators, routing professionals, exchanges, and fintechs to understand and operate the network at scale.

The Amboss product suite reads like a tour of what serious Lightning operators actually need. Amboss Space is the leading Lightning Network explorer and analytics platform, applying machine learning to surface routes, scoring, and node health. Magma is the largest non-custodial marketplace for Lightning channel liquidity, letting node operators earn yield on their bitcoin by selling channels to peers who need them. Hydro layers automation on top of Magma so payment-focused operators can keep liquidity provisioned without manual intervention, and the team's recent RailsX launch extends Amboss into Lightning-native peer-to-peer trading.

This is a category we have wanted exposure to from day one at Fulgur. Liquidity is the resource Lightning runs on, and a healthy liquidity market is the difference between Lightning being a niche payment tool and Lightning being a global settlement system. Amboss is building that market.

Jesse and Anthony combine deep Lightning expertise with the rare instinct to ship products node operators actually want to use. As USDT on Lightning, stablecoins, and institutional flows expand the network, Amboss is uniquely positioned to be the data and liquidity backbone underneath all of it. We are excited to be partners.
