Lightning implementation comparison — the feature gap is real:
BOLT 12 (reusable invoices):
✅ CLN ✅ Eclair ✅ LDK ❌ LND
Dual funding (v2 opens):
✅ CLN ✅ Eclair ❌ LND
Splicing (resize channels):
✅ CLN ✅ Eclair ❌ LND
Liquidity ads:
✅ CLN ✅ Eclair ❌ LND
Zero-fee commitments:
Implementing Eclair ❌ LND
LND has HTLC endorsement and quiescence, but it's falling behind on the features that matter most for node operators.
Running LND? LNDK can add BOLT 12 as a sidecar. Strike uses it in production.
The Lightning Network is healthier for having multiple implementations, but this gap needs to close.
