Lightning is on the roadmap! It definitely makes a lot more sense to open a channel with the market maker, and use that for the next 3 or 4 months, instead of having to create an on-chain tx every month.

This can be done with DLC channels.

We'll likely be focused on this early next year.

One of the nice things with this, is Atomic.Finance will also become a lightning app in the process of implementing this.
