 More like a service to make non-custodial lightning payments simple.

Using the API abstracts away all the nostr + lightning involved in using nwc, and allows devs to use a familiar REST interface to say userA wants to pay userB 200 sats.

 Cool. But ultimately it’s User A’s wallet that the funds are coming from? Via an invoice? 

Sorry, haven’t yet had a chance to read the docs.

 To send a user needs to be created with an NWC  and to receive they need to have a lightning address for getting an invoice.

Users can also "receive" without a lightning address, and when they do add a lightning address all the pending payment requests will be sent out.
