Geyser has introduced the NWC Hackathon Grant, encouraging projects utilizing Nostr Wallet Connect, a protocol for non-custodial Bitcoin payments. The grant features two categories for applicants: new and mature NWC apps, assessing projects based on impact and proof of work. Participants can attend educational livestreams and workshops leading up to a pitch day. The initiative seeks to enhance Bitcoin utility in real-world applications, emphasizing mentorship and development support in addition to prize money.
Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) serves as a communication protocol for programmable, non-custodial Bitcoin payments and interactions between apps and wallets. This design allows Bitcoin to move more freely between services.
The $10K NWC Grant is divided into two tracks: one for new NWC apps and another for mature projects seeking funding. Up to four winners are anticipated per track.
Geyser's initiative not only provides financial rewards but also includes workshops and mentorship throughout the development process to support participants.
NWC's versatility enables developers to push Bitcoin payments beyond traditional boundaries, aiming to integrate Bitcoin more extensively into everyday applications.
