Lightning
Splicing
How splicing lets a Lightning channel grow or shrink using Bitcoin transactions.
Splicing allows funds to be added to or removed from a Lightning channel using Bitcoin transactions without needing to treat every adjustment as a completely separate wallet workflow.
Why it matters
- Manage on-chain and Lightning funds through a single wallet balance.
- A channel can be resized as your needs change instead of being closed and reopened.
- Adjustments are Bitcoin transactions, so normal mining fees apply.
