One of the most interesting features introduced in Electrum 4.7 is support for Reverse Submarine Swaps. According to the official release notes<\/a>, users can now send Bitcoin directly from their Lightning balance to regular on-chain wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since this functionality was not available in Electrum 4.5, I decided to test it in practice and see how well it actually works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are not familiar with submarine swaps, which allow Bitcoin to move between Lightning and the Bitcoin main chain, you may want to read our dedicated guide first<\/a>. It explains both the concept itself and how to set up a Lightning channel in Electrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will also revisit the AML aspect of submarine swaps. My previous experiment, conducted almost two years ago, produced some surprising results. Let’s see whether anything has changed since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening Lightning Channel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If this is your first time using Lightning Network in Electrum, you’ll need to open a Lightning channel before reverse swaps become available. There are a few requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
