⚡ Thor – A Lightning Address Server Powered by Rust and NWC

Your domain. Your address. No node. Just Rust and NWC.

Thor is a fast, self-hosted Lightning Address server written in Rust.

By using NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect), it allows users to receive Lightning payments through their own domain — without running a Lightning Network node.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Custom Lightning addresses like [email protected]
• 🧠 No need to run LND or Core Lightning — just connect to your wallet via NWC
• 🦀 High-performance and safe — implemented in Rust
• 🧩 Self-hosted and easy to deploy
• 🔧 Configurable and extensible architecture (LND, CLN support planned)
