Recently, Lightning Labs launched Taproot Assets, sparking significant interest and excitement among users. The enthusiasm to be among the first to access or own Taproot Assets was clearly evident in our recent Zealy campaign, which saw over 8,000 unique Nostr addresses register.
Additionally, our integration partner Alby Wallet experienced a surge in registrations during our campaign, with over 6,000 new sign-ups—an impressive increase compared to previous weeks.
After months of relentless dedication, innovation, and rigorous testing, we are thrilled to announce the long-awaited mainnet launch of Taproot Assets on NostrAssets. This major milestone unlocks diverse possibilities for the Taproot community and ushers in a new era for decentralized finance.
What can you do with Taproot Assets on NostrAssets in this current version?
We have developed a comprehensive suite of features for Taproot Assets, which we will gradually roll out to the public. This strategy ensures that all functionalities undergo thorough testing before being introduced.
-
Transfer Taproot Assets via the NostrAsset web client or other decentralized social messaging apps on Nostr:
Say goodbye to gas fees! You can now transfer your Taproot Assets directly to another Nostr address—quickly and cost-effectively.
-
Trade Taproot Assets on the NostrAssets Marketplace:
Step easily into the world of trading. You can now trade your Taproot Assets for satoshis on the NostrAssets marketplace, making it simpler than ever to participate in asset exchanges within the Nostr community.
You can deposit satoshis into your Nostr address using a Lightning wallet such as Alby Wallet.

NostrAssets is an open-source, decentralized protocol designed to seamlessly integrate Taproot Assets and Bitcoin into the Nostr ecosystem. It empowers users to conduct various financial activities using Nostr's public and private keys.
Powered by the Nostr protocol—a permissionless and trustless relay network—it ensures censorship-resistant communication across the internet.
Backed by the Lightning Network and the robust Bitcoin blockchain, NostrAssets provides a secure and efficient environment for financial operations.
