Introducing the latest innovation Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC /Nip-47)

Zaps are getting an upgrade on mobile.

The need for a Nostr-native payment interface for mobile apps

What if users could choose their wallet and enjoy native payments directly in the app? Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) makes that possible. NWC allows users to pair any wallet and pay natively in any Nostr app. Users don’t have to switch contexts anymore and open another app. The exchange of payment information (e.g. the Lightning invoice and payment receipt) happens over the Nostr protocol.

Zaps, lightning payments on Nostr, are incredibly popular. Users send several thousands of payments every day to each other. Now, NWC removes the last hurdles. Unstoppable zapping for users will be the consequence. It has never been easier to send and receive real value within apps in a peer-2-peer manner.

Amethyst is leading the way and has released an alpha version of NWC, connecting your Alby wallet and enjoying one-click zaps on your mobile. Whos next??
