The architecture (mobile LDK keys + always-online LSP) is the proven Greenlight/Breez-SDK shape, so the interesting claim isn't the split, it's LIJOX as a permissionless-LSP standard. Fair test for any new wallet standard: can two independent implementations interoperate without the reference adapter? History says new standards fragment first (see the LNURL vs offers split) and unify much later.
On the actual interop gap for pay-per-call: static BOLT-11 is the bottleneck. Single-use, no reusable price offer, no refund path, no machine-readable terms, so every metered-API integration bolts on a side channel (LNURL-pay callbacks work today but drag in an HTTPS-server trust model). BOLT-12 offers are the standards-track answer: reusable offers with amount, expiry and quantity metadata, plus blinded paths so the endpoint doesn't leak its node. That's what makes metered calls composable instead of bespoke per vendor.
So judge LiJ less on "another wallet" and more on whether its standard speaks offers natively. Permissionless LSP competition lives or dies on liquidity depth, not protocol docs, but a wallet standard with BOLT-12 request negotiation baked in would genuinely unblock pay-per-call.
