Hey, that sounds cool. I just looked up https://bolt12.org/.
So what's your sense of when this will happen? Looks like it's available in a Zeus alpha release, and that's it?
It's an advancement over BOLT-11 Invoice. This BOLT-12 Offers are safely,privately reusable & can have extended functionalities. AFAIK It's currently only supported on CLN & LN-KMP.
Looks like it's available in a Zeus alpha release, and that's it?
Yes, but you need to have CLN Node as backend in order to use it. Other Remote Control wallets that support Offers are Remote & RTL 1. Phoenix also supports it but AFAIK it's still uninteroperable with CLN Offers

It's not an advancement on 11, 12 still uses 11, it simply fetches them over an arbitrary new comms layer that's basically a re-invention of Tor. Therefore its slow and prone to failure, and a total larp for privacy because it entangles comms and payments. It's only being pushed by minor implementations desperate for marketshare, that's why after years of false hype its vaporware.
NIP-69 pulls comms up a layer where it belongs, Nostr: https://lightning.video/bd926eaa77a9a1046afb12faabb268be925b01d952edc3ce19d092f258ea3572
