According to https://zaplife.lol
nostr zaps 8,200 sats / 10 minutes ⚡️
That’s 1.18 million sats / day ⚡️
That’s 431 million sats / year ⚡️
≈ $100,000 / yr
This is with approx 10k DAU on nostr (counting only high quality pubkey, complete bio, pfp, etc)
Suggesting quality pubkeys are averaging…
$1/month in zaps⚡️
No idea how accurate this is, or how much of the network is observed? 🤔 It’s probably partial.
I think this will grow with tighter integration and broader adoption of NIP-57. But then nostr is currently heavy with Bitcoiners who appreciate the zap.
What is ⭐️ aMaZiNg ⭐️ is that this actually works and is functioning. This functionality will mature and scale and it’s going to become an entire economy in its own right.
nostr.band stats show the number of zaps / day increasing by 500% in just 4 days ⚡️
Again, probably not a full picture but a very positive sign.
All in all, some big numbers here and some serious growth rates. Meanwhile the number of relays serving events now stands at 1,035.
🚀 progress 🚀 progress 🚀 progress 🚀
