Lightning Network Intelligence

Lightning routing intelligence for node operators.

BlueHorseShoe turns Lightning graph, channel, and routing data into actionable decisions.

Find better peers, spot underperforming channels, compare fee strategies, and identify potential routing bottlenecks before they cost your node time, liquidity, or revenue.

Built for Lightning operators who want actionable intelligence, not just more network statistics.

One Node · Two Delivery Options · 500 Sats

Choose how you receive your node intelligence.

Use the manual report when you want a human-readable assessment, or connect through the API when software, agents, or automated workflows need structured JSON.

For Node Operators

Manual Node Report

Submit a public node key, pay a 500-sat Lightning invoice, and receive an operator-friendly report covering your node, existing channels, routing evidence, and potential peers.

  • Human-readable assessment
  • Existing-channel strengths and weaknesses
  • Potential peers for consideration
  • Delivered through the guided website flow
For Developers & Agents

Node Analysis API

Request the same decision-support intelligence programmatically through a direct, pay-per-report L402 API with a structured operational-summary-v2 response.

  • Structured decision-support JSON
  • One scoped L402 credential
  • curl, Python, JavaScript, Java and PowerShell examples
  • Complete downloadable integration guide
What

What is BlueHorseShoe?

A Lightning Network intelligence platform.

Who

Who is it for?

Node operators who want better routing, fee, and channel decisions.

Problem

What problem does it solve?

It turns public Lightning network data into practical recommendations.

Why

Why should I care?

Because better routing decisions can improve node performance, reduce wasted effort, and reveal opportunities the raw graph does not make obvious.

Operator Decisions

Know what to do next.

Lightning operators already have plenty of data. BlueHorseShoe helps turn that data into decisions.

Peers

Peer Decisions

Identify nodes that may improve your routing reach, connectivity, and network position.

Channels

Channel Decisions

Spot channels that appear stale, weakly connected, expensive, or strategically underperforming.

Fees

Fee Decisions

Compare fee policies against network behavior and identify where your pricing may be misaligned.

Network

Network Decisions

Track graph changes, channel churn, capacity movement, and potential routing bottlenecks.

Lightning Intelligence

Graph intelligence. Channel intelligence. Routing intelligence.

BlueHorseShoe analyses public Lightning Network signals to help operators understand how the network is changing and where action may be useful.

  • Node connectivity and graph position
  • Public channel capacity and structure
  • Channel age, churn, and policy changes
  • Fee policy comparisons
  • Network growth and concentration
  • Potential routing bottlenecks and connectivity weaknesses

Why BlueHorseShoe

Not another explorer.

Explorers show the network. Dashboards show your node. BlueHorseShoe focuses on operator intelligence: what changed, what matters, and what decision may come next.

Raw network data tells you what exists.
BlueHorseShoe helps explain what may matter.

Generic dashboards show charts.
BlueHorseShoe turns signals into recommendations.

Explorers show nodes and channels.
BlueHorseShoe helps operators reason about peers, fees, routing, and network position.

Start with Lightning intelligence built for decisions.

BlueHorseShoe Node Intelligence is available for node operators, researchers, and Lightning builders who want clearer routing, channel, and fee intelligence.
