I have started this project. a new minimal and easy to run custodial NWC wallet node.

will be using tigerbeetle for an indestructible accounting db. auditable.

extremely minimal attack surface. small cln plugin. you talk to it via lightning for the api.

accounts are anonymous, based on secp256k1 keys for privacy and no KYC.

NWC, zaps, lightning addresses, bolt12 ?

built in rust.

I'm done waiting for someone to build this.

since pure non-custodial lightning wallets are hard, i think it would be ideal to just keep it as simple as possible:

custodial for small amounts, large chunks of sats over the custodial limit are automatically sent to the users non-custodial onchain wallet at regular intervals. No limits between these periods. This is a requirement to reduce liability on our end.

Our wallet doesn’t need to be hardcore non-custodial at every level (which isn’t really even possible). it will mainly be the touch point for people getting into bitcoin.

Getting their first sats from our lightning node into their non-custodial onchain wallet will be huge for people new to bitcoin and for non-custodial bitcoin as a whole.
