Buy a channel with receiving capacity included

Transfer to your Alby Hub on-chain wallet

Transfer bitcoin from your Spending Balance to your On-chain Balance. This will increase your receiving capacity, because it empties your payment channel by the amount you transfer to your on-chain wallet.

Create receiving capacity yourself

That’s probably the most fun option. If your spending balance is high enough you can simply spend some of your sats in these apps.

Benefits: You create more receiving capacity and you also support the bitcoin ecosystem as a whole.

Send to another lightning wallet

If you have a another lightning wallet or your exchange supports lightning deposits you can send that sats from your spending balance to that wallet. You can send a payment via the Alby Browser Extension or your Hub directly.

📤Send

Congrats! You just increase your Hub's receiving capacity. 🥳
