Max Payment Size
Lightning Network — maximum routable payment per node
Max Payment Throughput by Node
The maximum payment size a node can route is determined by its two largest channels —
a payment must enter via one channel and exit via another. The throughput equals the
second-largest channel capacity of the node (both channels must be available simultaneously).
Nodes with only one channel cannot route payments and appear in the < 100k sat column.
