Creator setup

Build your creator profile

Your Nostr identity and your payment wallet are separate. Set up either one now, then add the other when you are ready.

Step 1 ยท Identity

Connect your Nostr identity

This is your portable creator identity. It signs your posts and stays under your control; it is not a Bitcoin wallet.

I have a signer

Connect any compatible browser signer to use an existing Nostr identity.

Connect a signer app

Scan a Nostr Connect QR code in a compatible signer app. Your private key stays in that app.

Recommended: Nostrich

A simple Nostr app for creating and managing your portable identity, adding relays, and using Lightning. Your identity stays yours and works across compatible Nostr apps.

Open Nostrich โ†’

To connect directly here, use one compatible browser signer at a time, or scan the Nostr Connect QR with a signer app.

No browser signer detected. Create your identity in Nostrich, then connect with a compatible signer app. Your private key never passes through Zap Animations.

Advanced: paste a bunker connection link

If your signer app gives you a bunker:// connection link, paste it here instead of scanning a QR code.

Step 2 ยท Payments (optional)

Receive zaps directly

Add a Lightning address from any compatible wallet. This is where supporters send sats when they zap your work.

Enable zaps

  1. 1

    Choose a Lightning wallet

    Use any wallet that gives you a Lightning address, such as (name@walletofsatoshi.com).

  2. 2

    Paste the address below

    Save it to your Nostr profile so people can send zaps directly to you.

  3. 3

    Test a zap

    Open a clip โ†’ Zap โ†’ enter any amount.

Get a Lightning wallet

Pay zaps from your browser

Optional. This pays zaps from a browser extension. It does not receive zaps, and it is not required for the LA screening or any other zap. Receiving uses the Lightning address below.

No wallet detected

You can skip payments for now and still publish. Viewers can pay a zap invoice with any Lightning wallet when they choose to support a creator.
