xdamman on Nostr: Why would a relay store a transaction that is already confirmed on the blockchain? ...

Why would a relay store a transaction that is already confirmed on the blockchain? You mean more like another side chain for stables like lightning for bitcoin? I don’t think that this is strictly necessary in the web3 space of stablecoins. That problem is solved (unlike bitcoin, there is a plethora of side chains already that optimize for speed). What’s not solved is:
1- the metadata layer
2- connecting Nostr to web3 (afaik)

For 1, I just built a prototype for using Nostr as the metadata layer for web3: https://txinfo.xyz

(Work in progress, see also GitHub issue for implementation discussion about it: https://github.com/xdamman/txinfo/issues)

For 2, how could we connect your Nostr nsec to a web3 wallet to move stable coins? Has anyone worked on this yet?
