* `lnd` now [supports the new RBF cooperative close
135-
flow](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9610). Unlike the old
136-
flow, this version now uses RBF to enable either side to increase their fee
137-
rate using their _own_ channel funds. This removes the old "negotiation"
138-
logic that could fail, with a version where either side can increase the fee
139-
on their coop close transaction using their channel balance.

on a new protocol `option_simple_close` defined with the bolt proposal

Channel peers must support the `option_simple_close` for this new protocol to
145+
work. This new feature can be activated with a new config flag:

`--protocol.rbf-coop-close`.

With this new co-op close type, users can issue multiple `lncli closechannnel`
145149
commands with increasing fee rates to use RBF to bump an existing signed co-op

close transaction.

Please note this feature is not compatible with older LND versions.
153+
When closing channels with peers running older versions, fee bumping the
154+
closing transaction would be done via CPFP.

Regarding interoperation cross implementations, it currently only works
157+
with Eclair v0.12.0 or up. Interop with other implementations should work
158+
as they roll out support for this protocol.

This protocol currently does not support the channel types:

- Taproot channels

- Taproot asset channels
