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 · 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.
Use Primal
Connect the Nostr identity you already use in Primal—without exporting a private key.
Recommended: Nostr WoT
A simple browser signer for your Nostr identity, with an optional Lightning wallet for zaps. Install it, create or unlock an identity, then return here and choose Connect identity.
Keep only one Nostr signer enabled in your browser profile. Prefer Alby instead? Get Alby.
No signer detected yet. Your private key never passes through Zap Animations.
Ready to publish animation?
Enable animator access for the Nostr identity you will use to publish clips.
Step 2 · 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
Choose a Lightning wallet
Use any wallet that gives you a Lightning address, such as (name@walletofsatoshi.com).
- 2
Paste the address below
Save it to your Nostr profile so people can send zaps directly to you.
- 3
Test a zap
Open a clip → Zap → enter any amount.
Pay zaps from your browser
If your browser extension includes a Lightning wallet, connect it once to pay zaps without copying invoices. This does not change where you receive zaps.
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.
