Liquid peg-outs can only be performed by Liquid Federation members.
However, for the regular user, there are many alternatives to exchange L-BTC for BTC through a third party, many of which are trustless and non-custodial. The options fall into two broad categories:
- Liquid member platforms (e.g., exchanges) that handle peg-outs on behalf of their users;
- Trading with other Liquid users through peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplaces or through P2P trustless swaps.
Warning: Always ensure that you have a method for converting L-BTC to BTC available before acquiring any L-BTC.
