Zaps are like little lightning bolts you give your friends 😊

A zap is simply a special type of Bitcoin transaction which allows you to send a fraction of a Bitcoin instantly and at near-zero fees.

We use zaps on nostr as an improved version of a "like" by sending value (zaps/Bitcoin) to those who provide value to us (notes/posts).

Welcome🫂

You can read this quick guide to get started🤙

They are tips sent via lightning network, a network of transactions built on top of bitcoin.

Think of them like "likes" on steroids ⚡

Don't worry,. It's unexplainable. nostr is pretty fun without zap / humble opinion.

Enjoy! ~~

Zaps are “likes” denominated in small units of Bitcoin so if you truly appreciate a comment or something actually makes you laugh, or you learn something, or someone helps in some way, you can give them an appreciation that is more than just a “like”.

It's the term nostr uses to mean "send you some Bitcoin"

This type of question would've gotten so many zaps 🤣. (If you had a bitcoin wallet linked for us to send to you) .
