Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) is an open protocol
to connect lightning wallets to apps
How It Works
NWC allows for sustained interaction between bitcoin lightning wallets and apps.
Once an app connection is created, the app can request payments through a Nostr relay.

More Than Social Media

It's a neutral communication protocol that allows for high degree of interoperability between bitcoin and other technologies.
