Lexe is building the world's most cost-effective and reliable self-custodial Lightning nodes running inside secure hardware enclaves in the cloud. By leveraging the hardware-based isolation guarantees of Intel SGX, Lexe can offer a wallet that sends and receives payments 24/7 without retaining custody of users' funds, as Lexe cannot read the keys inside of the enclaves.

Lexe wallet users enjoy reliable receives to BOLT 12 offers, Human Bitcoin Address (BIP 353), and Lightning Address, with always-on uptime for Nostr Wallet Connect. Lexe's TEE-based architecture also drastically reduces node hosting costs, allowing Lexe to offer enterprise-grade Lightning node hosting for free.

Users maintain full custody while their nodes run 24/7 in our infrastructure

Could motivated Uncle Jims self-host their own infrastructure? (assuming they have the right CPU with these secure features enabled)

SGX's hardware isolation prevents even Lexe from accessing user funds, while remote attestation and reproducible builds let users verify the exact code running on their behalf.

Can user's verify that you are indeed running the code in a secure enclave? Or is that where the trustlessness ends?

Same as it was Mutiny....
Until the hosting server is seized, down, banned. Then you are fucked, your "wonderful" 24/7 online node is WORTHLESS if you cannot access it.
