LNC by Lightning Labs in the Alby browser extension provides users with another way to link their remote LND node and enjoy the power of non-custodial lightning payments on the web leaving slow connections over tor to the past.

As a LND node user, you can now connect to Alby through the following steps:

Step1: Install the Lightning Terminal Daemon (litd) on your LND node

Step 2: Use the received credentials to access Lightning Terminal in your local web browser

Step 3: Create a new session in the 'Lightning Node Connect' menu

The pairing phrase (typically 10 English words long) is copied to your clipboard

Step 5: Enter this pairing phrase in the LNC connector of the Alby browser extension

Step 6 (optional): If you don't have lightning channels yet, you can follow this setup wizard to fund your node and open your first channel.

That's it. 🚀 Try it out on lightning apps in the 'Discover' section of the Alby browser extension
