Something that Swan is good at (and I don't stack through them anymore, but I used to), is guiding and educating users on how to "get their sats off the exchange". Both with actual features in-app, but also with educational material likes docs and tutorials.
Do you think there is an opportunity for a lightning wallet in the space (Blink or otherwise) to follow a similar approach for lightning:
  1. Onboard users to fully custodial lightning
  2. Guide/reccommend regular users to move to LSP
  3. Guide/recommend users to move to their own LN node over Tor
Anyway just an idea - seems rightous, probably doesn't make business sense, and I'm not aware of any wallets in the space doing this.

It's always been a goal of Blink to help Bitcoiners on their journey. Custodial interaction with the bitcoin network is the best starting point for most. But it's only a starting point. Education is one part, and we have it inside Blink with the Earn section, but we'd very much love to be the application that holds the hand of a beginner and guides them to best-practice usage of bitcoin i.e. allow users to develop from custodial user to sovereign user within Blink.
There are ideas for this e.g. here https://hackmd.io/@vindard/BkP8QsQKh or here https://github.com/GaloyMoney/blink-mobile/discussions/2059 but it might take some time to get there as we have to build up dev resources.
