Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) is an open protocol to connect lightning wallets to apps

Zap less, but with higher amounts

Integrate NWC and then the user brings a wallet of their choice. Can be custodial, self-custodial, ecash or lightning!n

2024 was a real breakthrough of Nostr Wallet Connect ecosystem—new wallets, apps, websites, dev tools embraced interoperability & programmability that #NWC brings to Bitcoin. 2025 is going to be even more exciting. Let's celebrate that with fresh updates to NWC ecosystem map 🧵👇
