wtf is nwc?

In short: The latest, hottest shit. 🔥 This is what it looks like: nostr+walletconnect://.. – a wild string of characters, also known as a “string.” You could also just call it a key or a link.

This whole thing is called Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC), and it’s a connector based on two damn exciting technologies: Nostr đź’ś and Lightning ⚡️.

Got the key from a pleb or already scanned it? Then you’re in the right place! 🤝 You’ve received an NWC string – the key to a personal Bitcoin⚡Lightning wallet.

The NWC string connects applications (apps) via a Nostr relay to a funding source like a Lightning⚡node. This gives the app access to a Lightning⚡wallet.

The special part? App and wallet (funding source) remain independent from each other – that’s what makes NWC so revolutionary, flexible, and scalable. 🚀

The infrastructure behind it is Free and Open-Source Software. đź’ˇ It can be provided by a family member, a friend, or your local meetup community.

Apart from keeping your access key safe, you don’t have to worry about anything – just sit back and enjoy the benefits of Lightning⚡ and Nostr 💜.

By plebs, for plebs! 🤜🤛
