Lightning wallet in 1 click!
I vibe-coded a trivial wallet-creation app today: https://zap.land
One click and you get NWC string that you can put into Alby Go to topup the wallet and send payments, or put into Damus/Amethyst to send zaps. You also get LN address that you can paste into your Nostr profile and receive zaps to this wallet.
The backend of this is a development instance of a new custodial lightning wallet deployed in a trusted execution environment. That means you get better security and privacy guarantees, along with great usability. It's open source, you will be able to launch an instance of it yourself and clients could discover your instance along with ours and let users choose. The source code is here: https://github.com/nostrband/nwc-enclaved
This is an invitation for public testing and for your feedback. The wallets created have the max balance limit of 1000 sats and will likely be turned off at some point when testing is over and dev instance needs to be shut down. This is not the real thing, it's a toy to get a taste of it!
The service is based on "phoenixd" wallet with fully automatic liquidity management, which means - fees. Phoenix charges 4 sats + 0.4% per payment - we charge extra 1 sat, phoenix charges 1% plus mining fees for liquidity - we add nothing here, we also charge 1 sat per day to avoid getting spammed. When I say "we" I mean "the code inside the enclave" - it will only use revenue to pay for itself inside the enclave, not to make a profit.
Anyways, send some feedback!
Great work, bro. 🫡
I have some problems.
1. After refreshing the webpage, I can't find the wallet I just created. Is there any way to store my wallet? For example, the URL.
2. I pasted the NWC connection string using Freerse, and I can't automatically get the lightning address I just created.
Is this lightning node directly called by Phoenix's node?
Hi, this isn't really a wallet app, it's just here for you to generate NWC string and start using it elsewhere.
Zap.land gave you the ln address which you could put into your profile, is that what happened? NWC isn't really related to ln address, these are separate things
Great, bro. very neat micro wallet. Zap is smooth. This could be the default for all Nostr.
I want to manage balances and transfers in the wallet I just created. I can't view the wallet page after leaving the webpage.
NWC because when I connected Alby wallet and Coinos wallet before, Freerse automatically got their lightning address as the default lightning wallet address for my account. This is a small problem.
Ah ok I found it, added lud16 to NWC now - could you please try again checking if LN address will be taken from NWC?
I recommend managing the wallet using Alby Go or similar app for now, I don't have immediate plans to add transfers etc to zap.land
I just tested it and still can't get the lightning address from NWC.
Alby Go and Zap land are a perfect combination.
Does the NWC string that you're getting now include &lud16=
?Yes works great w/ nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s8jq7y6 !
Still no lightning address.
Alby Go is a very smart way. It can ensure the smoothness of the wallet and can freely connect to the web wallet. It can also avoid many policy issues through NWC.
Is zap.land running on Nostr's Relay at wss://relay.zap.land?
Sorry I don't see any other way to pass ln address with NWC - lud16 is included now, maybe that's something on your side? Are you setting the NWC string into an existing profile that already had ln address? Maybe Freerse uses address from NWC only if profile didn't have one already?
Yes it's using relay.zap.land
That’s ok. I can add the lightning address manually. Thanks for your hard work. 🫡
