JAN3 and AQUA wallet
summary
JAN3 launches the beta AQUA wallet (Jan 3, 2024) as a non-custodial mobile wallet with on‑chain BTC, Liquid BTC and Liquid USDt, Android/iOS apps, one 12/24 seed, and open‑source code. It sends/receives Lightning by doing an internal Liquid swap for instant, zero‑confirmation payments; Liquid runs one‑minute blocks and a ~15‑member federation that holds BTC backing Liquid assets. Bridges from Ethereum and Tron bring USDT in cheaply for remittances; the trade‑off is easier UX versus full on‑chain/channel sovereignty.
