Looks like there are roughly 7,000 zaps/day on Nostr according to Nostr Band.

A few related LN numbers:

- WoS does ~20k LN payments/day

- In the summer, Breez was doing as many payments as WoS (~10k/day)

- River’s LN nodes process ~4k payments/day

One interesting note is that Nostr activity hasn’t meaningfully changed LN public capacity. There does seem to be more payment activity though, so maybe node operators are earning more from routing fees.

Sounds right.

Yes, looking at my own routing fees, they’re up 5x 🤝

Does payment from wos to wos triggers a lightning payment? 🤔🤔

Should if it’s a zap

Curious, I’ve noticed it’s more difficult lately to send/receive any sizable amount of sats. (+50k) You experiencing this as well?

Using both Ably & Breeze, no issues.

Ok good to know, thanks!

I think it may have something to do with BlueWallet’s announcement today. A lot of people needing to move sats.

All of this zapping will incentivize routing operators to use a base fee, good luck monetizing zaps with PPM...
