“What the hell are Zaps? Or what's the difference between Lightning tips and Zaps?
Simply put, Zaps are Nostr aware Lightning tips. They are integrated with Nostr in a way that allows the sats sent to be tallied and displayed on an individual user's note. Everyone can then see the value of that individual note. That is the key point.
If your Lightning wallet does not support Zaps, you can still send Lightning tips, they will just not be counted and displayed on Nostr. You can still send and receive sats! This is the whole point of Value for Value.
The only Lightning wallets that support Nostr integration (NIP-57) are the following:
strike.army
vida.page
stacker.news
bitcoin jungle
ln.tips (LightningTipBot)
Many others are working on adding support for this. This includes Wallet of Satoshi, BTCPay server, Bitcoin Beach, and probably many more.”

A note: the zap/nostr support is needed by the recipient part, you can zap with any LN client!

How come so few wallets seem to support zaps but on nostr they are flying around like crazy. I think it's because you cab zap with any wallet but you can only recieve if it supports zap. Yes that must be it.
