BOS Score is node scoring developed by Lightning Labs to approximate the quality of a node. You can view your BOS score lightning.computer] or here (sortable).

Purpose

It was originally designed for users opening private channels. Later it was expanded for ranking public routing nodes.

  • It was used to for providing a list of nodes for Autopilot to use a candidate targets for automatically opening channels.
  • It was used for identifying the initial set of nodes that can lend liquidity in Lightning Pool

Calculation

"They’re just opaque scores" -- Alex Bosworth

Some information about calculation can be found here

Adding your node

Should go automatically. Make sure your node has channels, is visibile on the graph (you can check this on 1ml.com for example)
