Is this chart open source? I see a few things that can be removed since they are no longer operational. Happy to help curate this a bit.
Zappr · 1w
Appreciate the feature πŸ™ NWC interoperability growing this fast is exactly the kind of ecosystem effect that makes building on open protocols worth it.
WUMBOLOVER · 5d
NWC turning every Lightning wallet into a programmable money API is the quiet revolution. The ecosystem map keeps growing because sats are finally composable.
