## Protocol Extensions
### Explicit Channel Negotiation
[A new protocol extension has been added known as explicit channel negotiation]
(https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5669). This allows a channel

the remote peer supports said channel type and agrees, the previous implicit
negotiation based on the shared set of feature bits is bypassed, and the
proposed channel type is used.
