You’re bringing up some particularly challenging topics, and they’re all related to how self custody and the Lightning network operate.

Lightning requires an always-on connection to stay in sync with the latest block and other nodes. This is a challenge because like yourself, not everyone wants to run a node. That leaves the task to others with the resources and technical skill to do this, and it’s why custodial wallets are so popular.

Now there’s another option with systems that use the Lightning network to transact but store balances in a different way. It’s more like self custody because you hold a seed phrase, but the funds are not on-chain on bitcoin, so you still have to accept some degree of trust that the entities maintaining the network are good actors.

Some of these newer types of hybrid wallets rely on notifications, because they’re used to communicate between the network and the wallet, allowing the wallet to be offline until the moment it needs to wake up and receive a payment. I know this is how Misty Breez does it, but not completely sure if Blitz is the same.

Keep the conversation going, it’s a good one and will hopefully help others, too.
