Lightning Network is affiliated with Digital Community Plus Corp and operates as a free-to-use application under the LightningNetwork+ brand. The platform has been active since 2013 and offers a suite of tools centered on helping node operators build liquidity and improve their node configurations. Its core services include LN+ Liquidity Swaps, which allow groups of node operators to open channels in circular arrangements to gain incoming liquidity without duplicating channels, and LN+ Liquidity Pool, which uses an internal credit system to coordinate channel openings. The platform clarifies that these liquidity credits are neither tokens nor tradable coins.
Lightning Network also offers LN+ Watch Swaps, a service that coordinates watchtower protection between node operators to guard against malicious channel closures when nodes are offline. Its LN+ Node Explorer lets users browse publicly visible Lightning Network nodes, while claimed node profiles can display operator-provided details such as social handles, websites, and swap history. The LN+ Lightning Market functions as a marketplace for goods and services that accept Lightning payments or cater to the Lightning ecosystem. Rounding out the platform is Layers Academy, an educational resource covering Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and related second-layer technologies.
