After making several successful LN payments to the Byte Store I noticed that there were no fees paid. We wouldn’t expect a zero fee LN transaction over mainnet right?
Hello, yes we haven’t implemented a fee schedule yet (you can see several fee-related issue on our codebase here) but we will eventually have one.
You can also find a outline of the considerations that will be going into our fees here: Fees - What do Ark transactions cost? - Second Technical Docs
TLDR: Lightning payment fees will need to cover:
- The Lightning routing fees
- The liquidity fee (lower for old VTXOs, higher for fresh VTXOs)
But like @acidbunny21 says, we’ll have some more updates on fee schedules soon hopefully!
