Unified requests eliminate the hassle for users of choosing between requesting payment via the lightning network or on-chain. This choice can often be confusing, particularly for newcomers. -This wallet utilizes 'swap addresses' for all on-chain transactions.

Consequently, the wallet maintains a single Lightning balance, avoiding the need for a separate on-chain balance.

Splicing allows the seamless transfer of received Bitcoin into the user's Lightning balance without maintaining a separate on-chain balance. As a result, the wallet presents a single Lightning balance, greatly simplifying the user experience. This approach is trust-minimized and non-custodial, as channel capacity can be increased or decreased directly on-chain without relying on external swap services.
