We're no more launching that wallets, the guy will be able to open Alby Account and he hast to link it to his node or the Hub to use the Lightning Network.

Got it, thank you for clarifying! I’ll let my invitée know haha
Will legacy/existing users continue being able to use the custodial wallet service in the future? Or is Alby’s plan to wind it down for everyone?
In the long run, we plan to wind down by reducing balance limits (getalby.com/usage) but it will be gradual, with necessary notifications and making sure users take out their sats.
I had a feeling - I noticed the reductions recently. Is this decision based around regulatory compliance and reducing your exposure to that sort of risk? (Makes sense if so, but curious whether it’s that or more a need to build sustainability/monetization, or both)
