Primal Wallet embracing NWC is a huge push for widespread NWC adoption! Kudos 🫢
One of the greatest lightning wallets @ZEUS lately allowed us to connect any NWC wallet to use it on mobile within Zeus 😎 But they're not stopping. Seems like built-in Zeus wallet will also gain superpowers of connecting into other apps in the future πŸ‘€ image
Nost Wallet Connect mentioned by @Plan β‚Ώ Network Nice that you noticed the growth of the protocol to use bitcoin... everywhere. We're sure your students will create many great things with NWC
