Oh wait…. Nevermind
Alice has regular Bitcoin (on-chain).
Bob wants Lightning sats (faster, cheaper Bitcoin).
They don’t trust each other — but they don’t need to.
They use: 🔐 DIDs to prove who they are
📡 Nostr to chat and agree on terms
⏳ HTLCs to lock the swap safely
Whoever claims first reveals a secret — the other uses it too.
💥 Trustless swap. No middlemen. Just math.
