What is it that prevents self-custodial Lightning wallets from being zap compatible? Is it the lack of static Lightning address?
Does that mean when BOLT-12 is standard nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq will switch to self-custody (or at least offer it?)
LNURL is a coordination protocol that runs on the web - it's not built in to the Lightning Network.
That means it requires some additional web infrastructure on top of the lightning node infrastructure to coordinate the requesting of invoices between servers.
It's not ideal, but it works pretty well in practice - it just means there is some extra stuff to run. A non-custodial wallet could probably do it, but there would be some trust involved (whoever is running the web server).

I already have many different projects for running self custodial lightning addresses.
So glad you all have LNURL. Beats the heck out of my self custody lightning wallets. Makes it real easy to pay back friends/family, simply hit send to xyz@walletofsatoshi.com and you’re done.
