 “NWC is useful for far more than simply integrating Lightning into Nostr applications as well. The entire design philosophy of Nostr itself as a protocol was centered around keeping it simple enough that the entire protocol could be easily implemented correctly by any developer with minimal time and resources. Applications that have nothing to do with Nostr can easily integrate NWC or similar protocols with almost no overhead or complexity to address the underlying issues of how to connect a Bitcoin wallet with their application without having to build it directly into the app.” --Shinobi

Imagine unlocking major advancements in security, decentralization, and the potential of Bitcoin's app ecosystem, not through a new Bitcoin feature, but with something entirely different. What if we leveraged decentralized protocols like Nostr to create a communication and coordination layer for Bitcoin apps? This would allow new applications to seamlessly connect with devices and wallets, bypassing the usual complexity and burden. That's the power of Nostr Wallet Connect.

NOSTR WALLET CONNECT: A BITCOIN APPLICATION COLLABORATION LAYER
As the complexity of Bitcoin software and applications using Bitcoin grows, the need for a simple coordination mechanism for different applications to interact grows as well.
