I think we’re going to launch with support for Taproot channels
Discussion
They next versión of wallet use node with splicing channel?
Splicing probably next year. It will have Taproot channels though.
Hey! Question!
When Zeus refers to its functionality as a 'node' and Phoenix Wallet does... my understanding is that these are different things. Can you help explain the difference?
Phoenix is running channels to connect to their 'node' acinq, right? While Zeus is a remote control for different wallets.
Can you help clarify or push my understanding of this. Thanks!
v0.8 has an embedded wallet and node and it’s own LSP called Olympus
It’s similar to Phoenix, but there are a few differences.
1) Zeus doesn’t have swaps, so onchain and LN balances are divided
2) Zeus allows you to open channels to whoever you want, not just our LSP
3) pathfinding in Zeus happens on your device so you have better sender side privacy
I have another question: is it possible to install and use Zeus (with Olympus) on several devices at once? I would like to have a self-custodual lightning wallet that I can install everywhere.
Currently, it is not recommended to run the same Embedded LND wallet on multiple devices. Maybe down the road.

Once splicing is added to most apps things are going to be very wild in Lightning
That's what I'm waiting since the activation. I'm not opening any new channels till that will be enabled.
