This enables secure communication between Lightning nodes, wallets, and applications without traditional web infrastructure dependencies while also remaining web-friendly and facilitating self-custody. This novel use of Nostr delivers a greatly enhanced user experience and unlocks new use-cases versus the status quo of things like LNURL, Bolt12, and NWC. - About - CLINK vs NWC - Specifications - Event Kinds - Ecosystem - Contributing About CLINK provides standardized, Nostr-native methods for common Lightning interactions. By building directly on Nostr's capabilities, it enables secure integration between Lightning applications and node services without compromising sovereignty. Current Lightning interaction methods have a number of pitfalls. Some require maintaining traditional web infrastructure, adding undue complexity to self-hosting that results in custodial solutions. Others introduce friction and security risks through pre-shared secrets, or depend on slow and unreliable onion messages that are impractical for web applications. CLINK leverages Nostr's native strengths to enable direct, identity-driven interactions between Lightning nodes and applications: Simplify User Experience: Enable direct, spontaneous interactions compatible with familiar Nostr identifiers (e.g., NIP-05 ad","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/shocknet","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/shocknet/CLINK/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
