So, this is effectively a Liquid wallet that swaps to Lightning through a liquidity provider's Lightning node for making payments, and swaps from that liquidity provider to Liquid when receiving? So it is self-custody Liquid, which is really itself just a federated custodian, if I understand it correctly? The rug risk is greatly reduced due to the need for a majority of the federation's signers to collude in order to rug users, but it is still non-zero, because it is a trust-minimized custodial system, not a trustless system. Don't get me wrong. It still sounds amazing and I love to see all sorts of solutions that fall in different places along the spectrum of full trust in a single custodian to fully sovereign self-custody. This is probably the most compelling tradeoff I have seen to minimize trust, minimize fees, and still provide convenience to the user. What is the reason it requires Google Play Services to run? That cuts out a large number of Graphene users in the Bitcoin ecosystem, but then again, they are also the type to be most capable of running their own nodes, too.
I've only just seen this, quite why I wasn't already following Breez I don't know, but anyway, this looks and works great. Easy address set up feature too. I like that. I've now got mattyb@breez.fun and it works a treat- seen in the comments it basically uses liquid, so what's happening behind the scenes? Is this lightning to lightning on liquid, or submarine swaps between lightning and liquid? Is there any of the benefits of liquids privacy feature?
