Features
current is built on the nostr protocol. It enables a decentralised and open transfer of information and eliminates central middle men.
current comes with an integrated Bitcoin wallet that allows you to frictionless send and receive value while interacting with other users on nostr. It unlocks native and one-click Value4Value interactions.
When you create your key-pair with current, you can choose a personal Lightning Address and NIP-05 username.
current utilises Bitcoin’s BIP-39 to create a human-readable backup for your nostr keys. If you ever loose your device, you can restore access to your nostr-profile as well as you current wallet using this backup.
You can upload images and videos and share them with the world on nostr directly from the current app.
Don’t know if your friends are on nostr already? Don’t worry! With current you can easily find people that you follow on Twitter or search for new people to follow by pubkey / NIP05 / Twitter Handle.
Zaps are a nostr-native user interaction that combines Lightning Tips and Likes. With Current you can send and receive Zaps right after creating your account.
