This is big 👀
Previously, when sending a payment, there was only one route to the recipient. If it failed, the payment failed.
Now, recipients can open up to 20 routes (or “channels”) to receive money, making payments much more reliable, especially for large amounts. 🚀
Another big one 👀
Since receivers can now pull money from multiple incoming channels, they can accept larger payments.
Soon, senders will also be able to combine multiple outgoing channels to send big payments more efficiently.

With larger, more reliable transactions, we're one step closer to trillions of dollars flowing on Lightning. ⚡📈
