Risk free, self custodial APR of 3%
The Magma platform will turn 1 year old in a few weeks, and allows Lightning node operators to "lend" liquidity to other operators on a marketplace, by offering to open a channel for a fee. The side providing liquidity also commits to keeping the channel open for a minimum amount of time (typically 90 days), and can also collect fees on the channel as is normally the case in Lightning. Overall, the average APR for channel lenders has been around 3%[2], which is an impressive number considering it is risk-free, self-custodial yield.

ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web | The New Yorker
Think of ChatGPT as a blurry JPEG of all the text on the Web.

But, because the approximation is presented in the form of grammatical text, which ChatGPT excels at creating, it's usually acceptable. You're still looking at a blurry JPEG, but the blurriness occurs in a way that doesn't make the picture as a whole look less sharp.
