| 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. | |||

| This request is made using BOLT 01 messages over an existing encrypted and authenticated BOLT 08 connection. 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. For more information about connection and messaging, see the [Last Mile Routing](https://github.com/Roasbeef/blips/blob/tap-blip/blip-tap.md#last-mile-routing) section of [Taproot Asset Channels bLIP](https://github.com/Roasbeef/blips/blob/tap-blip/blip-tap.md). | |||

Would also be great to link to this document: https://github.com/lightninglabs/taproot-assets/blob/main/docs/rfq-and-decimal-display.md
I've created a PR to sync the tapd docs automatically to this repo, so the file should soon be available under docs/taproot-assets/rfq-and-decimal-display.md.

You mean in rfq.md or blip-tap.md?

So will rfq-and-decimal-display.md be rendered by the gitbook, or do you just want to link into this github repository?

I mean to link the words BOLT 01 and BOLT 08 to their definitions.
So will rfq-and-decimal-display.md be rendered by the gitbook,
Yes, once it's synced to this repo, it will be rendered and just needs to be linked.

The rfq-and-decimal-display.md document is now available: https://github.com/lightninglabs/docs.lightning.engineering/blob/master/docs/taproot-assets/rfq-and-decimal-display.md
