#nwc makes it easy for non-bitcoin people to add lightning wallets to their app. It’s a no brainer and huge for lightning wallet adoption.

Protocols on top of nostr is a fertile ground for development, looking forward to seeing what else people come up with.

Some best quotes below 👇

"Standardized mechanism needs to exist for all of different tools to talk to each other. This would allow each application and Lightning wallet developer, to all simply integrate one single protocol that would enable their applications to communicate with each other."

"Nostr Wallet Connect is a protocol making the attempt at being a truly generalized mechanism for fulfilling this need."

"It's based on Nostr’s identity architecture where every event is signed by a cryptographic keypair. This allows an application to generate a Nostr keypair, and from that alone have a cryptographic authentication mechanism to use with an external Bitcoin wallet"

"All of this is coordinated over Nostr, allowing for a very redundant means of communication not dependent on a single centralized messaging mechanism to facilitate the network connection between an application and wallet software or infrastructure running on their home network."

"NWC is useful for far more than simply integrating Lightning into Nostr applications. The entire design philosophy of Nostr itself was centered around keeping it simple enough that the entire protocol could be easily implemented correctly by any developer with minimal time."

"Nostr is the perfect underlying protocol to facilitate that given its incredible simplicity and the redundancy of a large set of relays to utilize. NWC is the perfect example of that being a viable solution. "
