LN Node capabilities are made feasible through LN Link, which builds upon the foundation laid by Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC).

## What is NWC?

<figure><img src="/files/Apb8NNAQ83IryWr83o5Q" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

NWC facilitates secure access to remote lnd instances, exchanges payment requests, and handles lightning invoices over the Nostr protocol. Notable functionalities enabled by NWC include:

* Connection to wallet services (e.g., Alby) via nostrWalletConnectUrl, allowing users to seamlessly log in to Nostr apps via NIP-07.
* Native BTC payments within Nostr apps (e.g., Zaps).
* Setup of recurring BTC payments

## About LN Link

Extending the capabilities of NWC, LN Link empowers Nostr clients/apps to interact not only with lnd but also with tapd. This expansion unlocks a host of new functionalities, including:

* Enhanced management of node and channel liquidity through LN Node.
* Native Taproot Assets payments within Nostr apps (e.g., USD-stablecoin Zaps).
* Setup of recurring payments in Taproot Assets (e.g., USD-stablecoin).

Moreover, LN Link is designed with high extensibility, potentially incorporating connections with Lnfi to enhance composability between Lnfi and other applications.

In essence, LN Node, coupled with LN Link, serves as a versatile gateway, bridging the gap between traditional financial systems and the decentralized world, while offering a plethora of possibilities for innovation and growth.
