"The USB-C of Bitcoin wallets and apps" is not stopping at all! Nostr Wallet Connect just got expanded from lightning to Ark (Bark), integrated in new p2p exchanges, music and podcast apps, VPN/eSIM services, hardware and tons of AI and developer tooling!

Your agent can also setup your @getAlby hub with a @secondhq bark backend and create @nwc_dev connections for you!
Use your favorite agent, Claude, Codex, etc. Here I used Pi agent with a local LLM.
You can now run self-hosted Alby Hub with Ark (Bark by @secondhq), and connect it to apps within a vast @nwc_dev ecosystem.
See how you can connect to mobile Alby Go in just 20 seconds!

1/ Bark is now a Lightning backend option in Alby Hub.
@getAlby built the integration on the Bark SDK in record time, just days after our mainnet launch. You can now enable Lightning payments in your hub with no Lightning node, channels, or liquidity to manage.

Connect bark wallets to any NWC client!
May 21
You don't need to wait for your favourite wallet provider to integrate bark.
Run this `bark-nwc` service alongside your node and go out into the world and transact. Take action. โ๏ธ
Use an NWC thin client app by @getAlby, @ZeusLN, @damusapp, etc
Stay tuned for tutorial video.

This means a lot coming from @nwc_dev ๐
We built ChapSmart so any Lightning wallet can send M-Pesa to Tanzania โ no app download, no bank account, no KYC.
NWC is the protocol that makes it work across every wallet.
Tanzania is just the beginning. ๐น๐ฟโก

From any NWC wallet to M-Pesa payment.
Tanzania is on the top of the game!
