 If the **wallet service** supports notifications, the info event SHOULD contain a `notifications` tag with the supported notification types space-separated, eg. `payment_received payment_sent`.
 
+It should also contain supported versions as described in the [Versioning](#versioning) section. For example:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+    "kind": 13194,
+    "tags": [
+        ["v", "1.3 0.0"], // List of supported versions as described in the Versioning section.

 ### Request and Response Events
 
 Both the request and response events SHOULD contain one `p` tag, containing the public key of the **wallet service** if this is a request, and the public key of the **user** if this is a response. The response event SHOULD contain an `e` tag with the id of the request event it is responding to.
 Optionally, a request can have an `expiration` tag that has a unix timestamp in seconds. If the request is received after this timestamp, it should be ignored.

+## Versioning
+
+Versioning for NIP-47 allows the protocol to evolve and even make breaking changes while maintaining backwards-compatibility where needed. Versions are represented as `<major>.<minor>` (e.g. 1.3).
+Major version bumps imply breaking changes that are incompatible with the previous major version. Minor version bumps, however, only include non-breaking feature additions or improvements which
+can maintain full compatibility with the previous minor version.
+
+**Note:** Version 0.0 or absence of a version specification implies the version of NIP-47 prior to adding the versioning system. This is the protocol as defined at commit hash `e655247`.
+
+Versioning works as follows.
+
+1. The **wallet service** includes a `v` tag in the `info` event. This tag contains a space-separated list of versions that the **wallet service** supports.
+2. The **client application** includes a `v` tag in each request event. This tag contains the highest version that the **client application** supports and is compatible with the **wallet service**.
+
+### Info event
+
+First, the **wallet service** adds a `v` tag to its `info` event containing a list of versions it supports. This list should be a space-separated list in decreasing order with the format
+`<major>.<minor>`. There should be one entry in the list for each major version supported by the wallet, where the minor version is the highest minor version for that major version. For example,
+if a wallet service supports version 1.0-1.3 and version 0.0, their `v` tag in the `info` event might look something like:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+    "kind": 13194,
+    "tags": [
+        ["v", "1.3 0.0"], // List of supported versions as described in the Versioning section.
+        // ...
+    ],
+    "content": "pay_invoice get_balance make_invoice lookup_invoice list_transactions get_info",
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+When a **client application** establishes a connection, it should read the info event and look for the v tag.
+
+**Absence of this tag implies that the wallet only supports version 0.**
+
+If the `v` tag is present, the **client application** will choose the highest version supported by both itself, and the **wallet service**. Note that minor version bumps are non-breaking. For example,
+if the client application supports a highest version of 1.2, and the wallet published the info event shown above, it would select version 1.2 since the wallet’s support for v1.3 implies support for v1.2.
+
+### Request events
+
+When a **client application** sends a request event, it should include a `v` tag with the version it is using. This tag should contain the highest version that the **client application** supports
+and is compatible with the **wallet service**. The version MUST be supported by the **wallet service** as indicated by the info event. For example, if the client application supports version 1.2,
+the request event might look like:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+    "kind": 23194,
+    "tags": [
+        ["v", "1.2"], // Version tag
+        // ...
+    ],
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+If the **wallet service** does not support the specified version, it will return an `UNSUPPORTED_VERSION` error. Absence of the `v` tag indicates use of version 0.

 ## Using a dedicated relay
 This NIP does not specify any requirements on the type of relays used. However, if the user is using a custodial service it might make sense to use a relay that is hosted by the custodial service. The relay may then enforce authentication to prevent metadata leaks. Not depending on a 3rd party relay would also improve reliability in this case.
