+NIP-83
+======
+
+Wallet connect/bridge
+--------------
+
+`draft` `optional` `author:arcbtc` `author:blackcoffeexbt`
+
+Useful for clients wanting to intergrate wallet features, could be custodial or non-custodial or both.
+
+> Intended for use with bitcoin, but could be used with any invoice payment system that can pay invoices/create invoices/check payment status.
+
+## Motivation
+
+All bitcoin lightning wallet clients connected to nodes use http, they should also be able to use nostr.
+
+Simple plugins/middleware/libraries could be easily made for existing nodes and lightning wallet software.
+
+## Examples
+
+There are two simple clients sending json over [NIP04](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md). These clients could be standalone or built into clients/services.
+
+1. `funding source client`: Connected to the funding source.
+
+2. `service client`: Built into service/client that wants wallet functions.
+
+### Permissions
+
+In `funding source client` nostr pubkeys used by `service client` are given and permissions granted (such as `read`/`create_invoice_only`/`pay_invoices`)
+
+### Creating an invoice
+
+`service client` sends `create_invoice` event:
+
+```json
+{
+   "create_invoice":{
+      "amount":"int",
+      "memo":"<Optional[str]>",
+      "description_hash":"<Optional[bytes]>"
+   }
+}
+```
+
+`funding source client` checks the pubkey has permission and sends `generated_invoice` event:
+
+```json
+{
+   "generated_invoice":{
+      "payment_hash":"<string>",
+      "payment_request":"<string>"
+   }
+}
+```
+
+### Paying an invoice
+
+`service client` sends `pay_invoice` event:
+
+```json
+{
+   "pay_invoice":{
+      "invoice":"<string>",
+      "note":"<Optional[str]>"
+   }
+}
+```
+
+`funding source client` checks the pubkey has permission and attempts to pay the invoice.
+
+### Checking a payment in/out
+
+`service client` sends `check_payment` event:
+
+```json
+{
+   "check_payment":{
+      "payment_hash":"<string>"
+   }
+}
+```
+
+`funding source client` checks the pubkey has permission, checks the payment status and sends `payment_status` event:
+
+```json
+{
+   "payment_status":{
+      "payment_hash":"<string>",
+      "paid":"<bool>"
+   }
+}
+```
