It's custodial. It's an ecash wallet. Most ecash wallets are multi-custodial, meaning they allow you to diversify across many custodians because of the rugpull and operator risks.

Mints are just custodians though and can send and receive lightning like any other custodial lightning wallet.

Can somebody please explain how is Macadamia wallet different than other lightning wallets?

They seem to be using mints instead of channels, and when I press on the send/receive ecash button, it seems like I can send/receive lightning. I’m not bashing the wallet or anything, I’m just trying to understand the difference between macadamia and a regular lightning wallet.
