132+ ### Loop Out Swaps
133+
132134Now that loopd is running, you can initiate a simple Loop Out. This will pay
133135out Lightning off-chain funds and you will receive Bitcoin on-chain funds in
134136return. There will be some chain and routing fees associated with this swap.
137+ ```
138+ NAME:
139+ loop out - perform an off-chain to on-chain swap (looping out)
140+
141+ USAGE:
142+ loop out [command options] amt [addr]
143+
144+ DESCRIPTION:
145+
146+ Attempts loop out the target amount into either the backing lnd's
147+ wallet, or a targeted address.
148+
149+ The amount is to be specified in satoshis.
150+
151+ Optionally a BASE58/bech32 encoded bitcoin destination address may be
152+ specified. If not specified, a new wallet address will be generated.
153+
154+ OPTIONS:
155+ --channel value the 8-byte compact channel ID of the channel to loop out (default: 0)
156+ --addr value the optional address that the looped out funds should be sent to, if let blank the funds will go to lnd's wallet
157+ --amt value the amount in satoshis to loop out (default: 0)
158+ ```
159+
160+ It's possible to receive more inbound capacity on a particular channel
161+ (` --channel ` ), and also have the ` loop ` daemon send the coins to a target
162+ address (` addr ` ). The latter option allows ones to effectively send on-chain
163+ from their existing channels!

175+ ### Loop In Swaps
176+
177+ Additionally, Loop In is now also supported for mainnet as well. A Loop In swap
178+ lets one refill their channel (ability to send more coins) by sending to a
179+ special script on-chain.
180+ ```
181+ NAME:
182+ loop in - perform an on-chain to off-chain swap (loop in)
183+
184+ USAGE:
185+ loop in [command options] amt
186+
187+ DESCRIPTION:
188+
189+ Send the amount in satoshis specified by the amt argument off-chain.
190+
191+ OPTIONS:
192+ --amt value the amount in satoshis to loop in (default: 0)
193+ --external expect htlc to be published externally
194+ ```
195+
196+ The ` --external ` argument allows the on-chain HTLC transacting to be published
197+ _ externally_ . This allows for a number of use cases like using this address to
198+ withdraw from an exchange _ into_ your Lightning channel!
199+
200+ A Loop In swap can be executed a follows:
201+ ```
202+ loop in <amt_in_satoshis>
203+ ```
