quoting naddr1qv…6gn9🎯 Goal
You want to:
- Offer a self-managed Zap address using your own domain
- Forward payments to your Zeus Wallet (via Olympus LSP)
- Combine NIP-05 and Lightning (Zaps) under one identifier
Important:
- This setup enables receiving Zaps only.
- Sending Zaps still requires the built-in Lightning wallet of the Nostr client.
🧩 Components Used in This Example
- GitHub Pages: Hosts your
.well-known
files
- ZeusWallet (Olympus): Receives the payments (Zaps)
- LNURL-Pay JSON: Forwards Zap requests to
zeuspay.com
- NIP-05 Identifier: Your public Nostr identity address
- lud16 (Lightning): Same address as NIP-05 for Lightning Zap receiving
The following article describes the precondition of creating a nip-05 with custom domain:
📁 GitHub Folder Structure
The GitHub folder structure must look like this. You extend the existing NIP-05 setup by adding a folder
lnurlp
with one file:.well-known/ ├── nostr.json # For NIP-05 └── lnurlp/ └── petermuster # For LNURL-Zap
*For example, if your Lightning address is
petermuster@zeuspay.com
, name the filepetermuster
(no file extension is needed).
📄 Content of
.well-known/lnurlp/petermuster
Open the terminal on your linux/mac and run:
curl https://zeuspay.com/.well-known/lnurlp/petermuster
Copy the result into a text editor, clean it up and save it into a file named
petermuster
with this format:{ "callback": "https://zeuspay.com/api/lnurl/pay/petermuster", "metadata": "[["text/plain","Self-custodial LN address powered by ZEUS. Hodl invoice will settle when user comes online within 24hrs or you'll be refunded."],["text/identifier","petermuster@zeuspay.com"]]", "tag": "payRequest", "minSendable": 1000, "maxSendable": 612000000000, "allowsNostr": true, "nostrPubkey": "3943rjfoijdlakfjo0afsdafasfasfdsadklnfaksdfjljewopqjweilj", "commentAllowed": 600, "zeusPayPlus": true }
📝 Nostr Profile Configuration
Make sure your Nostr profile links both your
nip05
and your Lightning address like this:{ "nip05": "petermuster@mydomain.com", lightnisadress (lud16): "petermuster@mydomain.com" }
