Muun is self custodial, but it's not a Lightning wallet. It's a good way to let you use your on-chain funds on LN (through Muun's node), if you're OK with the fees associated with that.
If you want self-custody Lightning, Phoenix is the easiest solution. Breez is good too.
Can i use breez n phoenix without running my own node?
Phoenix and Breez are both lightweight but full Lightning nodes that run directly on your phone. So no, you need to run a node. But they come with it and manage all the channels and liquidity for you, so you don't need to run a *separate* node.
π and Blixt wallet are recommended noncustodial wallets
I haven't messed with Blixt yet, but IIUC they don't manage liquidity for you, is that right?
Zapped
So from what i understand
Non custodian : breez, phoenix, blitx
Not sure: muun
All of this can run without a node? (Or rather, a phone relay?)
You can enable Dunder LSP in settings for that. Haven't used it yet. #[9] is the dev and may be able to answer questions on it. π€
Actually i dont understand this.
It is self-custodial, but not a lightning wallet? How so?
Read their docs. Your Muun funds are stored on chain. When you do a Lightning payment, you actually send funds to Muun's Lightning node and they forward your Lightning payment to the recipient via a technique called a βsubmarine swapβ. And vice versa for funds sent to you over Lightning.
Ah, understood. Like a proxy.
But is it safe? Like in a doomsday can i retrieve my funds?
I feel phoenix is ok but im concerned with the way it handles the mnemonic.
