[Feature Request] Support for Lightning Address Protocol

[wrkerr]

Please consider implementing the lightning address protocol, to provide users a static address for receiving LN payments.

It appears that Muun is one of the few LN wallets that doesn't yet have any support for this protocol.

Hi there!

Sadly, the Lightning Address protocol doesn't really work for receiving for self-custodial mobile wallets. You have to use a custodial wallet or host your server.

There are other proposals like AMP or BOLT 12's Offers that could get us the same UX while keeping self custodianship. Hopefully they'll get standardized and adopted soon 🙏

Receiving via lightning address doesn't make sense for Muun. However, Muun could support sending to lightning addresses.

could be an option for muun wallet to monitize, offer as a paid service.

However, Muun could support sending to lightning addresses.

While it still doesn't, you can use my small helper that allows paying to email-like Lightning addresses from unsupported wallets, like Muun. It turns the addresses to convenient invoices.
