Your node operator sees your IP, not your transaction. Lightning uses 3-hop onion routing to hide the path between sender and receiver, so peers only know their immediate neighbor. While packet timing leaks metadata, the payment amount and destination remain encrypted until the final hop. The network grows stronger every time you open a channel.
