 When sending Taproot Assets over the Lightning Network, an Edge Node is needed. This Edge Node receives the Taproot Asset in the channel with the direct user and swaps it for bitcoin. As the swap rate between Taproot Assets and bitcoin likely fluctuates, the user may make a Request for Quote to the Edge Node before generating a Lightning Network invoice or initiating a payment.

The connection already exists because it is used for establishing and coordinating the Taproot Asset Channel in a way very similiar to normal Lightning channels.

+Taproot Assets can be deposited into Lightning Network channels. These Taproot Asset channels are not announced to the network, but are available as “private” channels to both channel partners.
 
-Typically, these unannounced channels are between a client (the wallet of an end-user, running on a mobile device or personal computer) and a service provider (a routing node operating on a server). The service provider is always available and well connected to the larger network through public channels, while the client only comes only sporadically to make or receive a payment.

They may have multiple channels per client, for example to facilitate the transfer of multiple asset types.
+In the context of Taproot Assets, an Edge node is a specialized routing node with multiple public Bitcoin channels to the Lightning Network, and unannounced Taproot Assets channels with their clients. They may have multiple channels per client, for example to facilitate the transfer of multiple asset types.
 
 What makes an Edge node different to an ordinary routing node or Lightning Service Provider is the ability to swap the Taproot Asset into BTC or vice versa, and route the value of the payment over the greater Lightning Network.
 
 This enables a Taproot Assets-aware Lightning wallet to hold a Taproot Asset, but pay to any Bolt 11/12 Lightning invoice, LNURL or Lightning address. It also allows this wallet to receive Taproot Assets for any payment made by any existing Lightning wallet.
 
-Through Edge Nodes, Taproot Assets-enabled wallets are able to plug into the existing network effects of the Lightning Network, and are able to interact with services and users that are not aware of Taproot Assets.

 As Edge nodes swap Taproot Assets to BTC through traditional [HTLCs](../multihop-payments/hash-time-lock-contract-htlc.md), they do not hold client assets or require custodial arrangements of any other kind.

 * **Quote swap rates**
 
-Before the client performs a swap from Taproot Assets to Bitcoin, it will expect to get a quote from the Edge node. As Lightning invoices are denominated in Bitcoin, this quote is necessary for the client to know how much of their Taproot Assets they are expected to pay: “This invoice is over 10,000 satoshis, how many Taproot-USD will this cost me?”\

 Conversely, when generating a Lightning invoice, a quote is necessary for the client to generate the invoice: “I would like to receive 10 Taproot-USD, what amount of satoshis should I make this invoice out to?”\
 \
 As Bitcoin’s exchange rate is volatile, spreads offered by Edge providers may differ based on how long they are valid for. When paying an invoice quotes only need to be valid for a few seconds, while invoices require quotes for the period of their validity.\
