It's still unclear if it will only be available in the USA or if users from other countries will also be able to use it. The target audience seems to be US customers.
Not much information is available at the moment besides that it will be a no KYC service.

Yes, the wallet will be available to everyone with the inclusion of the USA users,
but they will need to go through KYC.It is good, though, that they are working on adding the USA user to their service after the restriction that happened before.
This will be a way to let people know about their custodial Wallet of Satoshi lightning bitcoin wallet which I can not advice anyone to download, unlike noncustodial bitcoin lightning wallet like Phoenix. It will be good if they can make their bitcoin lightning wallet a noncustodial one also or even before developing a noncustodial on-chain wallet.
I supported what you said, but according to the tweet provided by the OP, the current wallet they are working on is a non-custodial one, and they promised it's going to be an innovative wallet that will provide a thrilling experience.
Let's wait until the wallet is released before we know if they are replicating the same mistake, since they seem to be promising something special.
Yes, I know it is noncustodial. I am not disputing that. I only mean that it will help mislead more people to use their custodial lightning wallet.
As for where you quoted Pmalek, the
noncustodial wallet is also not need KYC for United States customers. Go through the tweets again and you will notice that KaMeek Lucas Taitt posted about their lightning bitcoin wallet, Wallet of Satoshi quoted him and
it was about the lightning wallet that it requires KYC only in United States
but it was confusing, and not about the noncustodial wallet . Wallet
ifof Satoshi later posted this about it
's:Some are misreading this, so to clarify: There will be no KYC, on any Wallet of Satoshi, ever!
