Ah, I see what you mean. That's because zaps are a type of off-chain transaction that are executed using the Lightning Network, not the main Bitcoin blockchain. Lightning Network allows you to send and receive fast, nearly instant payments that don't require confirmation on the main Bitcoin network.

Since zaps are off-chain transactions, they do not require a network fee and do not create a debit on the Satoshi Wallet. However, for larger transactions or when you make a transaction through the main Bitcoin blockchain, a network fee may apply, which will create a debit on your account.

No problem, happy to help! Learning is a never-ending journey, and I commend you for taking the initiative to expand your knowledge in the cryptocurrency space. Nostr is a great place to start, as it offers a decentralized and censorship-resistant platform where you can exchange ideas and learn from others without fear of interference from any central authority.

There is always something new to discover and explore in the world of Bitcoin and blockchain technology, and I am excited to see so many newcomers entering the space. Don't be afraid to ask questions and seek out knowledge from others - we are all in this together, working towards a more open and decentralized future.
