---

Goals

• Build the User Dashboard (primary deliverable)
• Integrate lncurl for courtesy NWC wallet provisioning
• Complete frontend wallet redesign
• Implement white-label customization
• Continue E2E testing

---

User Dashboard (Primary Focus)

The User Dashboard is a dedicated area where users manage their profile, identity, address configuration, and preferences. Separate from the wallet interface, which focuses on payments.

Profile Management

• Edit display name and avatar
• Set bio/description
• Contact information

Nostr Identity (npub / NIP-05)

• Set npub (Nostr public key) manually
• Resolve npub from NIP-05 identifier (alice@example.com → npub)
• Platform serves NIP-05 verification at .well-known/nostr.json
• Unified identity: alice@domain.com resolves to both lightning address AND npub
• Display Nostr profile metadata pulled from relays (kind:0)

Lightning Address Configuration

• View current lightning address (user@domain.com)
• View resolution method: alias/redirect, courtesy NWC, or own NWC
• Configure and change redirect target (for alias users)
• Request courtesy NWC upgrade via lncurl (via useCourtesyNWC hook)
• Connect own NWC wallet (paste NWC connection string)
• View resolution priority and active method

Address Redirect Management

• Set redirect target address
• Test redirect (verify target is reachable)
• View redirect history
• Remove redirect (when upgrading to NWC)

NWC Connection Management

• View current NWC connection status
• Connect/disconnect NWC wallet
• Switch between courtesy NWC and own NWC
• View NWC provider (for courtesy connections)
• Revoke courtesy NWC connection

Preferences

• Notification settings
• Privacy settings
• Theme preference

Courtesy NWC via lncurl

Overview

Instead of building a custom proxy container, courtesy NWC wallets are provisioned via lncurl (lncurl.lol) — an agent-first custodial Lightning wallet powered by Alby Hub. A single HTTP POST creates a wallet and returns an NWC connection string. See Courtesy NWC via lncurl for full specification.

Integration

• lawallet-web calls POST https://lncurl.lol to provision a new wallet
• Returns NWC connection string directly — no accounts, no OAuth
• Wallets cost 1 sat/hour, auto-deleted when empty
• Self-hostable: operators can run their own lncurl instance

React Hook

• useCourtesyNWC hook in frontend consuming lncurl via lawallet-web API
• Connection status, provision/revoke flows

---

Frontend Wallet Polish

The wallet already has: login (nsec/extension/create), balance display, send dialog, recent cards, NWC setup widget, and settings. This month focuses on polish.

Enhancements

• Improved NWC connection flow with QR code and step-by-step guide
• Payment history with filters (currently not implemented)
• Receive payment interface (display invoice/address)
• Status indicators (connected, connecting, error) with better UX
• Mobile responsive improvements

---

White-Label Customization

• Logo upload and display
• Primary and secondary color configuration
• Custom CSS injection
• Footer links configuration
• Stored in database, applied via CSS variables
• Preview in admin before publishing

---

Customizable Landing Page

• Editable hero section: title, subtitle, CTA button
• Feature highlights section
• Partner/sponsor logos
• Waitlist integration (already has subscribe endpoint)
• JSON-based content editor in admin dashboard

---

E2E Testing (Continued)

• User dashboard flows: profile setup, npub configuration, address management
• Redirect setup and NWC upgrade flows
• Wallet interface: send, receive, history
• White-label customization verification
