What is Nostr Wallet Connect? (NIP-47)

Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) allows users to import their existing bitcoin lightning wallets into Nostr clients, allowing for one tap Zaps. This essentially makes Zaps as easy and as simplistic as Likes. You don't need to switch apps. You don't need to copy invoices. You don't need to enter amounts, if you don't want to. You just tap a note and your default amount is automatically Zapped to the note's creator.

#1tap2zap makes Zaps even easier to use.

What wallets support NWC?

At this time, it's just Alby and Umbrel Lightning node. As more clients adopt NWC, we'll start seeing additional wallets supporting this implementation as consensus around this feature grows.

What clients support NWC?

At this time, it's just Amethyst, but very soon Damus users will have support for NWC. If your client doesn't support it, you can always ask your client's developers and entire them with sats 😉 Everyone loves sats.

Incredibly happy to see this move forward, even though it means Current loses its head start hahaha. Can‘t wait to implement this soon

Some of its head start* ;)

I still think an integrated method like Current has its place, especially for new users.

This is moving so fast! It’s kind of addictive.

Every time a news like this comes out, it reminds me of the early days in the mid 90’s when a new version of Windows was coming out. It was so exciting as a user and as network admin! That would mean hours of rebuilding machines and trying stuff. Learning!

Back then, Microsoft dev cycle was counted in years!

Now with nostr, it’s not every 3 years that we get new goodies, it’s every three days. It would be a full time occupation to keep up and play with every new features, new apps, new clients.

This is awesome! I use Damus, time to zap #[2]​ for all these daily goodies 🤩

it's what makes nostr so much damn fun. the rate of improvement is astonishing!

Thank you for all your efforts teaching us, in silence we are learning about #nostr but also developer's language, terminologies & so on taking baby steps but we'll get there. Thanks👍🏼

Brilliant work! 👀

Count us in… Current App Wallet now supports Wallet connect to link to other nostr clients such as snort.social, Amethyst and Damus pretty soon. Check out this live demo with Current and Snort.social
