Your node. Watched over.

Watch Swaps connect you with a peer to watch each other's channels and help protect your funds while your node is offline.

How watch swaps work

Watchtowers monitor the blockchain and submit penalty transactions to contest malicious channel closures, helping protect your funds while your Bitcoin Lightning node is offline. Find a partner on LN+ and agree to watch each other's node.
