Liquid Network - peg in peg out

[kristiano92]

Hello,

I wonder how it really works. E.g. I want to redeem 1 btc for 1 l-btc. 1 btc has been locked. I made many transactions and I have 2 l-btc, which I want to exchange for 2 btc. What happens to 1 btc which I locked earlier ? I know peg out isn't available for normal users.

I didn't do much research on the topic, but from what I read a peg-out can only be initiated by a member of the Liquid federation. You are right about that part. When you initiate a peg-out, an equal amount of L-BTC has to be burned from the Federation's supply. When that is done, your requested funds will be sent to the address you previously whitelisted.

I've heard about this in the past, but had no idea that the peg-in requires 102 confirmations before you get credited with your L-BTC!
