134134* ` lnd ` now [ supports the new RBF cooperative close
135- flow] ( https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9610 ) . Unlike the old
136- flow, this version now uses RBF to enable either side to increase their fee
137- rate using their _ own_ channel funds. This removes the old "negotiation"
138- logic that could fail, with a version where either side can increase the fee
139- on their coop close transaction using their channel balance.

141- This new feature can be activated with a new config flag:
135+ flow] ( https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9610 ) . This flow is based
136+ on a new protocol ` option_simple_close ` defined with the bolt proposal
137+ [ 1205] ( https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/1205 )
138+ Unlike the old flow, this version now uses RBF to enable either side to
139+ increase their fee rate using their _ own_ channel funds.
140+ This replaces the old "negotiation" logic that could fail, with a version
141+ where either side can increase the fee on their coop close transaction using
142+ their channel balance.
143+
144+ Channel peers must support the ` option_simple_close ` for this new protocol to
145+ work. This new feature can be activated with a new config flag:
142146 ` --protocol.rbf-coop-close ` .
143147
144148 With this new co-op close type, users can issue multiple ` lncli closechannnel `
145149 commands with increasing fee rates to use RBF to bump an existing signed co-op
146150 close transaction.

152+ Please note this feature is not compatible with older LND versions.
153+ When closing channels with peers running older versions, fee bumping the
154+ closing transaction would be done via CPFP.
155+
156+ Regarding interoperation cross implementations, it currently only works
157+ with Eclair v0.12.0 or up. Interop with other implementations should work
158+ as they roll out support for this protocol.
159+
160+ This protocol currently does not support the channel types:
161+ - Taproot channels
162+ - Taproot asset channels
