Lightning liquidity management agent. Enjoy self-custodial lightning without worrying about channels.

How it works Hydrus opens channels automatically based on the state of the network graph. It also closes and re-sizes (planned for future releases) existing ones based on their characteristics (status, capacity, age) and past performance (number of forwards, fees collected, uptime and more).

To interact with the agent, Hydrus offers a set of commands to execute all actions in a sequence (hydrus agent run) or separately (hydrus channels sub-commands). For the full list of commands, check cli.md.

The agent is completely stateless, uses only the information provided by the lightning daemon RPC API.
