Architecture Comparison
Custom Engine vs. Standard Lightning Node Routing
A technical breakdown of how our managed service outperforms running a standard LND or Core Lightning node for high-volume payment operations.
| Routing Capability | Standard Lightning Node | Chainscore Optimized Engine |
|---|---|---|
Pathfinding Algorithm | Basic Dijkstra / Yen's KSP | ML-Powered Multi-Parameter Optimization |
Fee Optimization | Static fee rules | Dynamic, liquidity-aware fee modeling |
Success Rate Target | 95-98% (variable) |
|
Channel Rebalancing | Manual or basic scripts | Fully automated, predictive rebalancing |
Liquidity Management | Manual inbound/outbound | Algorithmic global liquidity orchestration |
Integration Complexity | High (node ops, API dev) | Low (managed API/SDK, 2-week deployment) |
Time to Optimized State | 3-6 months of tuning | 2-4 weeks from onboarding |
Team Requirement | 1-2 dedicated DevOps/Devs | Fully managed by Chainscore |
Annual Total Cost (Est.) | $120K-$250K+ (ops + dev time) | $60K-$150K (predictable subscription) |

Technical & Commercial Insights
Lightning Routing Development FAQs
Answers to common questions from CTOs and technical founders evaluating payment routing optimization services.
We operate on a fixed-scope, fixed-price model for standard Lightning Network routing deployments, which typically take 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. The process follows four phases: 1) Architecture & Node Strategy (1 week), 2) Core Implementation & Channel Management (1-2 weeks), 3) Integration & Testing (1 week), and 4) Deployment & Monitoring. For complex, multi-chain or high-frequency trading systems, we provide custom quotes with timelines of 6-8 weeks.
