Hi there,
How you will compare the Hub to other LN wallets as Phoenix or Zeus? What are the advantages of the ALby Hub? Thanks!

Alby Hub is build with a focus on connecting with other apps. Use it with any Nostr apps, use with the podcasting 2.0 apps, etc. it's the wallet for programmable open source money!

There's a few differentiators!
  • Alby Hub is designed to be always online, so you can use it in many ups all the time.
  • You can decide what lightning backend you run with Alby Hub - LDK, LND, Breez SDK, Greenlight, Phoenixd and even Cashu
  • You can open channels to many best-in-class LSPs within the app, we're giving lots of choice to the users
  • There's in-app chat support with Alby team :)
  • We currently don't have automated channel management like Phoenix or Zeus (but that may come in the future as an option)

Oh and the most important - we're focusing on allowing users to connect Alby Hub to apps through Nostr Wallet Connect. You can connect it to mobile, web, desktop apps, games, plugins, extensions, etc

That is big for me. I'm zapping right now on SN mobile with the easy to set up Alby NWC connect app on an umbrel node.

Definitely that Alby Hub focuses on being the one wallet you need, connected to all your apps. We're totally re-thinking what a wallet is. Like Zeus, Alby Hub is completely open and doesn't restrict what channels you can open (unlike Phoenix which is a closed system). Unlike Zeus, Alby Hub can run 24/7.
You can connect Alby Hub to Zeus and Olympus LSP from Zeus is one of the LSPs that you can choose to buy receiving capacity from! We are good friends with Zeus and totally recommend their wallet :-)
