We understand that lightning might be confusing and we need better naming and onboarding.

So in basic: providing you an Alby Account, we run and manage a (shared) node for you, giving you access to your wallet and a LNURL, which corresponds directly to you LN address (eg. narwhaltacos@getalby.com, which you can customize.

You can control this account, send and receive sats with some wallet interface - it could be our browser extension (for desktop), Zeus wallet or Blue wallet (mobile).

Let us know if that answers your question and what is the setup that you are working on.

We are currently running betatests for Alby mobile and for using your wallet on a website. Would you like to try it out?
