Stack sats as a lightning node operator

LNnodeinsight released Sats4stats allowing lighting node operators to exchange node data for sats facilitated by the open WebLN standard.

Lightning network nodes may collect certain information as part of the routing process. This can include transaction data, such as the source and destination addresses of payments, as well as network metadata, such as the channels used to route payments and balances. This information is crucial to find paths within the network calculated by routing algorithms. The better the data the more efficient the calculated route is. Hence lightning routing node data is valuable. Apps like LNnodeinsight provide specialized services to routing node operators to make better decisions and save fees.

However, lightning node data is only available in silos on each lightning node. Making it easily accessible has been a big challenge. There is no unified API that allows data exchange across different node implementations. Instead, app developers and node operators have to work with different interfaces.
