Your Alby Hub self-custodial wallet can send and receive sats, but it lacks a Lightning address. This is where your Alby web account becomes useful: it provides your Alby Hub with a Lightning address.
Connecting is super easy and fast, you are ready in under a minute!
On your Alby Hub, go to "Connections" and click on "Link your Alby Account". It should be done in just a few seconds.
Great!😀 So now you can receive payments to your Alby Hub by handing your lightning address "your-name@getalby.com"⚡
All the feature of Alby web Account are now features of your Alby Hub, ain't that awesome?
Some of those functionalities include:

APIs for developpers
V4V tools for podcasting and such
Alby cannot see the transactions that go directly through your LND node using NWC connections with your Hub. However, if your Alby Account is linked, transactions associated with your Lightning address will be visible on your dashboard at getalby.com, and you’ll receive email notifications. You are free to unlink your account at any time to stop this. (but you will lose the benefits of it)
