Bitcoin apps can build on a Lightning node you already control. Alby Hub can use Phoenixd to connect Nostr Wallet Connect apps, while LNbits can use it as the funding source behind its wallets and extensions. Nodana keeps the underlying node running.
A practical approach
Choose an app with a Phoenixd backend and connect it to your Nodana-hosted node. The app adds its own experience while Phoenixd handles Lightning payments.
Connect Alby Hub. Use Phoenixd as Alby Hub's Lightning backend, then connect compatible apps through Nostr Wallet Connect.
Power LNbits. Use Phoenixd as the funding source for LNbits wallets and extensions.
Keep your node in Nodana. Manage the hosted Phoenixd node while the app provides the tools and workflows you want.
You choose which app gets access to the node. Keep payment credentials private and check each app's Phoenixd integration before connecting it.
