top-up channels / swap on-chain balance
✅ Done

Some of my channels were out of funding. There is no visible feature to top-up those channels. So the only option looks like closing the channel and opening a new one. Thanks to JP I found out I can use a swap service like https://boltz.exchange/ . I would like to see a service like https://boltz.exchange/ or an own service by Alby to be integrated in the hub channel management. It would be nice just be able to see an option to swap the on-chain balance.

We have added basic swap tools which will be released in v1.14.0 🔜
roland Thanks. Looking forward to that release.
Same over here, found out about and used Boltz, too. Also a good workaround: Send onchain-BTC to Muun (Play store), which can handle onchain and LN without the need to swap internally. Then send second-layer-BTC from Muun to your LN-Wallet. Easier than Boltz, and even cheaper.
geist_aus_sternenstaub Thanks. A similar solution as Muun provides would be even better. Currently I can only use the on-chain balance of Alby to open channels. If you like it, please upvote this request.
Jurjen If upvoting means giving a thumbs up - I did my job. (-:
Jurjen By the way, by using Boltz or Muun you CAN increase your outbound liquidity, too. But maybe you know that and I'm misreading your comment.
