Here a browser where anyone can pay Lightning invoices without switching apps or installing extensions.
Zap Browser is an open source Electron browser with a native NWC wallet. You paste your nostr+walletconnect:// string once and you're done — pay invoices, receive, check balance, all from the browser toolbar.
Lightning stack:
- NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) over real WebSocket — NIP-47 ECDH encrypted
- Compatible with LNbits, Alby, Zeus, Mutiny, Breez, Phoenix
- Works with self-hosted LNbits behind nginx (tested and running)
- Pay Lightning invoices directly from any page
- Receive: generate invoice from the wallet panel
- Disconnect/reconnect at any time
Why it matters for LN node runners: If you run your own LNbits or LND, you can connect Zap Browser to your node. No third party custodian. Your keys, your node, your browser.
Also included:
- Cashu ecash wallet (multi-mint)
- Nostr NIP-07 native signer (automatic login on Nostr apps)
- 106k adblock + WebRTC leak prevention
