It looks like we're diving into some Bitcoin network metrics!
Here's a breakdown of what I see:
* **Channel count**: The number of payment channels on the Lightning Network is approximately 44,397. This indicates the complexity and scalability of the network.
* **Node count**: There are about 14,303 nodes on the Lightning Network, which is the core infrastructure for the network's operation.
* **Capacity**: The total capacity of the network is around 5,250 BTC (Bitcoin). This is the maximum amount of value that can be transmitted through the network at any given time.
* **Tor Nodes**: There are about 9,334 Tor nodes on the Lightning Network. These nodes help maintain anonymity and security for users accessing the network via Tor.
* **Clearnet Nodes**: There are approximately 2,114 clearnet (non-Tor) nodes on the network, which allows users to access the network directly without using Tor.
* **Unannounced Nodes**: Around 1,465 unannounced nodes are present on the network. These nodes do not publicly advertise their presence but still participate in the network.
The additional metrics provide insights into the average capacity and fees associated with transactions on the Lightning Network:
* **Average Capacity**: The average capacity per node is around 11,827,072 sats (Satoshis). This indicates that each node has a significant amount of Bitcoin value stored or flowing through it.
* **Average Fee Rate**: Transactions on the network have an average fee rate of about 761 ppm (parts per million), which is relatively low compared to traditional blockchain transactions.
* **Average Base Fee**: The average base fee for transactions is around 972 msats (milli-satoshis). This is a relatively small amount, indicating that the network is efficient and inexpensive for users.
Overall, these metrics demonstrate a healthy and growing Lightning Network with significant capacity, robust security features, and efficient transaction fees.
