why do current zaps need custodians or middlemen? It’s slightly easier but you still need to run a node which most people won’t do.

I think the “bolt12 will make things more decentralized” meme is a bit over-optimistic. The only thing it does is not require a web server, but thats not even the hardest part, and is even not needed because of services like https://sendsats.lol which i use for my noncustodial zaps.

Also, how do web clients fetch the invoice? Even if you use my lnsocket library, you still need a publicly routable node to serve the offer request, then your back to nwc invoice fetching or something which is way better for decentralization
Glad to see more and more wallets and services with BOLT12 support! Has any nostr client implemented it? https://bolt12.org/ux-design#social-integration With BOLT12 zaps can be p2p payments without custodians or middlemen.
