#### Do end-users need a Nostr key to send or receive payments?

#### How much does it cost to transact via NWC?

NWC is a free and open protocol—there are no licensing fees or vendor lock-ins to implement or use it. You can integrate it freely into your apps without paying anyone. Transactions sent over the lightning network do incur the usual routing fees, just like any standard lightning payment.
