Introduction

Welcome to the Zapf Documentation. Zapf is a decentralized payment protocol and application that enables you to zap anyone, anywhere, instantly using the Nostr and Lightning networks.

Core Pillars​

  • Lightning Network: Instant, low-fee settlement powered by Flokicoin and traditional Bitcoin Lightning.
  • Interoperability: Built on open standards like NWC (NIP-47) and Zap Receipts (NIP-57/5521).
