I dunno how you plan to structure it, but we found the issue can be both.

The mint needs the URL, the server, the associated LN node, and whatever basis for AUTH (database or other). A community member could spin all that up independently, and manage access independently, so not asking Zapchat to assist with any of it, nor letting Zapchat know the URL or any other details of the mint in a formal-input sense, or of the mint transactions—it's all discussed in MLS e2e encrypted messages and all transactions done outside the client.

That would be no different that a bunch of people spontaneously agreeing to do all that with each other in a Signal group chat. Then Signal itself can legit say "we can't know anything about that".

But for the mint to actually be a basis for fun features then a bunch of data on the mint, the users and the transactions will have to pass through Zapchat's servers, of those of whatever other client, no getting around.
