If you're like me, you're bullish on privacy-preserving, reusable payment codes. BOLT 12 and Silent Payments are making it happen for Lightning and on-chain payments, respectively. I hope to update these tables over time as more wallets support these two protocols.

- ZEUS only supports sending/receiving if the user has a Core Lightning connection configured in the app. Limited testing has determined that this feature is currently not working.
- Only supported by the LDK backend as of v1.18
