I just mean this is the first I have heard of this and Nostr in the same conversation. There are several protocols that makes use of web3 a lot better than Nostr, namely Farcaster and lens, which is why I found this odd. I don’t think Nostr has the infrastructure that some of these other protocols have so I’m not sure how it will work out. I’ve been wondering for a long time why these developers don’t try and figure how to intermingle these protocols, otherwise we are just going to end up in the same mess.

eNuts, which use the Cashu eCash protocol, work with Nostr by letting people send and receive eCash tokens directly through the Nostr network. It ties your Nostr public key to an eCash wallet, so you can make private, censorship-resistant transactions right in the system. Wallets like Nutstash make this possible by linking eCash mints to Nostr accounts, so you can send payments without needing a blockchain. It’s lightweight, simple, and focused on privacy. Nostr might not have the full Web3 setup that protocols like Farcaster or Lens do, but this integration shows how it can bring together secure messaging with private payments in a really practical way.
