I’m excited to announce the launch of $prism.
Nostr is many things, but most importantly, I believe that Nostr is Bitcoin’s first layer three technology. Bitcoin solves money, Lightning solves payments and Nostr solves identity and coordination. Similar to the Bitcoin and Lightning protocols, the Nostr protocol is permissionless and decentralized.
Nostr solves identity using a simple public key that works across any client. Nostr solves coordination by directly connecting Lightning wallets without intermediaries via Nostr wallet connect (“NWC”) and Lightning address (or ideally a future Nostr native equivalent).
There will be many incredible bitcoin experiences built with Nostr. We are making prisms.
Lightning prisms without Nostr are hard to coordinate and execute. It requires figuring out each address, a way to coordinate payout amounts, and someone taking custody of the bitcoin for a period of time to manage payouts. So we’ve seen almost no one making prisms.
Now with Nostr, they are incredibly easy. Want to create a prism on Nostr right now? Type $boost into the text of your next post on any client and we’ll make a prism with the first 10 people that repost it. We’ll post the prism on nostr:npub12u7xgzak939jlap3fnev05eky6d4ntwr4lrs03kgnnfd9njmtvrsr9jjmt and you can zap it with any client that supports zap splits like Snort.social or Amethyst. Want to limit your prism to a smaller group of people? Create a listr on listr.lol like #friends and type $boost #friends. We’ll only create a prism with users that boost your post and are on your #friends list.
With NWC, payments all complete wallet to wallet, no intermediary necessary and we never touch your bitcoin. The possibilities are now endless for building new consumer experiences on top of Lightning and Bitcoin.
We started $prism to push forward the bitcoin experience on Nostr. We’ll be launching more prism products over the coming days. Follow nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw or go to https://makeprisms.com to learn more.
A special thanks to nostr:npub1ce7d8cdg8k49dnl3da34mvhah8kevxfsq2vdguq6trngapqfsdzsnv3d7m who has been an early thought partner and the first contributor to $prism and nostr:npub1s9etjgzjglwlaxdhsveq0qksxyh6xpdpn8ajh69ruetrug957r3qpklxzl who is our newest contributor.
Being able to $boost a note and create "Note" Prisms for Nostriches that share your content is interesting. I'm glad that powerful clients such as Snort and Amethyst support Zap splits. I see this as a novelty for now, but as time moves forward this could be a useful way for creators and influencers to reward their followers.
So, uhm, zap and share this note to play, er..participate.
I see decentralized advertising 😁
I don't mind changing the advertising game and creating unique experiences for ads. The current model is broken. We need innovation in this space and Nostr is ripe for experimentation. 🔥🔥🔥 Great job nostr:npub12u7xgzak939jlap3fnev05eky6d4ntwr4lrs03kgnnfd9njmtvrsr9jjmt 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Glad someone gets it...

Now I understand why there should be only 10, why it has to be done manually one by one
You can enable one click prism zaps in #amethyst by doing this

This feature will create new ways to create value by curating quality content for our followers. No doubt entirely new ways to stack sats using this monetization model.
What a prism does is basically reward people who share my notes on Nostr?
