@nostr-wot/wallet

Two complementary helpers for Nostr-aware wallets:

Module	Standard	Use case
`NwcClient`	NIP-47 Nostr Wallet Connect	Pay invoices, get balance, list transactions via a remote wallet daemon over Nostr
`buildZapRequest` / `requestZapInvoice`	NIP-57 zaps	Build LNURL+zap-request flow for tipping notes / profiles

Install

npm i @nostr-wot/wallet @nostr-wot/signers nostr-tools

NIP-47 — Nostr Wallet Connect

Connect to a remote wallet (Alby Hub, Mutiny, Cashu.me, custom NWC server) and drive it from your app.

import { NwcClient } from "@nostr-wot/wallet";

const client = NwcClient.fromUri(
  "nostr+walletconnect://abc?relay=wss://...&secret=...",
);

// Make an invoice
const { invoice, payment_hash } = await client.makeInvoice({
  amount: 1000_000,        // msats
  description: "test",
});

// Pay an invoice
const { preimage } = await client.payInvoice({ invoice });

// Get balance
const { balance } = await client.getBalance();

// List transactions
const txs = await client.listTransactions({ limit: 50 });

await client.close();

NwcClient opens a single subscription to the wallet's relay, multiplexes requests over it, and resolves each response by e-tag matching the request id. Always call close() on teardown.

Lower-level

const client = new NwcClient({
  walletPubkey: "hex...",
  relays: ["wss://..."],
  secretKey: new Uint8Array(32),
});

const result = await client.request({
  method: "lookup_invoice",
  params: { payment_hash: "abc..." },
});

NIP-57 — Zaps

The full zap flow: discover the recipient's LNURL endpoint from their profile, build a kind-9734 zap request, hit the LNURL callback, get back a BOLT11 invoice ready to pay.

import { requestZapInvoice } from "@nostr-wot/wallet";
import { Nip07Signer } from "@nostr-wot/signers";

const signer = new Nip07Signer();
const { invoice, zapRequest } = await requestZapInvoice(signer, {
  recipientPubkey: "hex...",
  amountMsats: 21_000,             // 21 sats
  comment: "great post",
  relays: ["wss://relay.damus.io"],
  lud16: "alice@getalby.com",      // optional; auto-discovered if omitted
  zappedEventId: "abc...",         // for note zaps; omit for profile zaps
});

// Pay the invoice via NWC, WebLN, or any wallet
await nwcClient.payInvoice({ invoice });

The zap receipt (kind-9735) lands on the recipient's relays once the LNURL service publishes it; consumers can subscribe to kinds: [9735], #e: [eventId] to count zaps. The parseZapMsats helper in @nostr-wot/data decodes the receipt's bolt11 amount.

Lower-level

import { buildZapRequest } from "@nostr-wot/wallet";

const { event, encoded } = await buildZapRequest(signer, {
  recipientPubkey,
  amountMsats: 21_000,
  comment: "...",
  relays,
  zappedEventId,
});

// Append `?nostr=${encoded}&amount=${amountMsats}&comment=...` to the
// recipient's LNURL-pay callback yourself, parse the invoice from
// the JSON response.
