The wallet is its own product - LightNode Wallet - an independent, community wallet for the LightChain ecosystem. Not an official LightChain product, and it stands on its own (no comparisons to other wallets).

Rebrand

"LightChain Wallet" -> "LightNode Wallet" everywhere: manifest, popup, the EIP-6963 provider name + rdns (app.lightnode.wallet), package name, README. "LightChain" stays only where it names the network the wallet connects to.

Install without building (you asked for this)

The /wallet page now leads with Download the wallet (a prebuilt zip) -> unzip -> Load unpacked. No Node, no npm, no build. Build-from-source is tucked away as a developer fallback.

A new wallet-release workflow builds + zips the extension and attaches lightnode-wallet-chrome.zip to a GitHub Release, so the download button always serves a current build. v0.1.0 is published now.

Copy

Reframed to stand on its own: a self-custodial home for your LCAI, worker, encrypted AI, and DAO on LightChain. Your keys never leave your device. Independent and community-built.

Also

.gitignore guards against an accidental nested repo clone (the local lightnode/lightnode/ that was tripping local typecheck) and ignores the WXT build output.

tsc/next build/ESLint clean, 491 tests green. (The standalone build fix that makes a fresh clone build at all already merged in #78.)

…d, standalone build

The wallet is its own product - LightNode Wallet - an independent, community
wallet for the LightChain ecosystem (not an official LightChain product, and
not positioned against any other wallet).

- Rename the product to "LightNode Wallet" everywhere (manifest, popup, EIP-6963
  provider name + rdns, package name, README). "LightChain" stays only where it
  names the network the wallet connects to.
- /wallet page: lead with a prebuilt "Download the wallet" (no build needed) ->
  unzip -> Load unpacked, with build-from-source as a developer fallback. Copy
  reframed to stand on its own (no MetaMask/Phantom comparisons).
- Distribution: a wallet-release workflow builds + zips the extension and
  attaches lightnode-wallet-chrome.zip to a GitHub Release, so the download
  button always serves a current build (v0.1.0 published).
- .gitignore: guard against an accidental nested repo clone and ignore the WXT
  build output.
