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
