liquiditystr - A Gateway to the Lightning Liquidity Marketplace on Nostrliquiditystr.space/

This GUI allows liquidity consumers to buy from LSPs or nodes that advertise liquidity and listen for purchases requests using: https://github.com/smallworlnd/publsp.
How does it work?
LSPs advertise liquidity as addressable Kind 39735 events. Anyone interested in purchasing liquidity from an LSP can just pull and evaluate all those structured events, then NIP-17 DM an LSP of their choice to coordinate a liquidity purchase. Liquiditystr just performs the customer side of things in a streamlined UI. It connects to Nostr relays, pulls Kind 39735 events, displays the ads, and pipes NIP-17 DMs between your session and the LSP. Have a look at the source code to get a better idea!

I often feel these platforms have almost no activity. Lightning labs pool has nothing going on Magma is a bit better but overall a lot left to be desired

Yep, everyone is competing to make a double-sided market which is very hard. I also get the sense that leasing liquidity has very weak demand. It seems to only makes sense for someone that predicts they'll receive many small payments over a period of time, payments they can't get by some cheaper (aka onchain) means, is willing to trust the channel leaser, and also can't provide the liquidity via submarine swaps for themselves. ie I think there's lots of desire on the part of bitcoin holders to make use of their bitcoin like this, ie supply, which is why I think we see so many of these markets with low demand, but it's also not heating up your bitcoin storage for 1% theoretical yield in a weak market.
Then again, I'm just guessing, and it can always just be too early.

This is cool ! And nice to see that user also can choose between private and public channel.
