# Zapstore — Vision
|
|
|
|
## What Zapstore Is
|
|
Zapstore is a local-first, Nostr-native app distribution platform focused on trust,
|
|
verification, and user sovereignty.
|
|
|
|
It enables discovering, installing, and supporting apps using open protocols
|
|
(Nostr + Bitcoin/Lightning), without centralized app store control.
|
|
|
|
## Who It Is For
|
|
- Users who value open networks and self-custody
|
|
- Developers distributing apps via Nostr
|
|
- Communities curating and funding software directly
|
|
|
|
## What Success Means
|
|
- Users can reliably discover and install apps offline-first
|
|
- Installs and updates are verifiable and safe
|
|
- Developers can be supported directly via zaps
|
|
|
|
## Non-Goals
|
|
- Zapstore is not a general-purpose app marketplace
|
|
- Zapstore does not optimize for engagement or growth metrics
|
|
- Zapstore does not require real-world identity or accounts
|
|
- Zapstore does not hide trust, verification, or provenance from users
