As a correction, this note was supposed to begin by saying "Aqua is a non-custodial wallet".
Derp.
Bolts is a non-custodial wallet that allows you to hold an on-chain balance and a "L2" balance.
The L2 balance is held in Liquid, but you can pay lightning invoices from your balance there.
Ultimately, I utilize this tool to consolidate small UTXOs over time before withdrawing more responsibly sized UTXOs.
There is also a privacy improvement, as by nature of Liquid, the UTXOs you send, are obfuscated from the UTXOs you withdraw.
Aqua uses boltz for their on-chain/Liquid to Lightning exchanges.
As with any new tool, only use a small number of sats to play around with it and familiarize yourself with its operation before using it with any more substantial amount.
