🔗On-chain Wallet mode!
🤖 AI & Agents page

🔌 Redesigned setting app connection budget & expiration UX

Let’s dive in 🧵...

1. Core Lightning support

You can now use your existing CLN node with Alby Hub and use it in new ways — connect to dozens of apps. You stay in control by deciding what permissions apps get, how much they can spend & when does the connection expire.



2. On-chain Wallet

Alby Hub now becomes a proper on-chain wallet! Switch between lightning and on-chain with one click and easily send & receive on-chain. This is just the beginning of making Alby Hub full-fledged on-chain wallet, so expect more! 🤓


3. AI & Agents page

A dedicated page for all-things agenting payments. Learn what can your AI agents do with Alby Hub & how to connect to the agent of your choice. Let your agents send & receive bitcoin, pay for services, automate your node management or build bitcoin apps.


4. Custom transaction labels

Need to include your bitcoin activity in accounting? Or just want to have a better clarity on your spending? You can add custom labels to your transactions — just click on a transaction and add as many labels as you need.



5. Improved app connections & settings

We’re constantly improving Alby Hub for a smoother experience. In this release, we made app connection UX much cleaner with a nicer seperation of budgeting and expiration options. Settings also got some love, including a neat themes preview



This release is dedicated to Mark Horowitz — the creator of first PGP key server, which was a crucial step for encrypted email communication.
