 ## Rationale
 
-This NIP describes a way for clients to access a remote Lightning wallet through a standardized protocol. Custodians may implement this, or the user may run a bridge that bridges their wallet/node and the Nostr Wallet Connect protocol.
+This NIP describes a way for clients to access a remote lightning wallet through a standardized protocol. Custodians may implement this, or the user may run a bridge that bridges their wallet/node and the Nostr Wallet Connect protocol.
 
 ## Terms
 
-* **client**: Nostr app on any platform that wants to pay Lightning invoices.
+* **client**: Nostr app on any platform that wants to interact with a lightning wallet.
-* **user**: The person using the **client**, and want's to connect their wallet app to their **client**.
+* **user**: The person using the **client**, and wants to connect their wallet to their **client**.
 * **wallet service**: Nostr app that typically runs on an always-on computer (eg. in the cloud or on a Raspberry Pi).  This app has access to the APIs of the wallets it serves.
 
 ## Theory of Operation
- 1. **Users** who wish to use this NIP to send lightning payments to other nostr users must first acquire a special "connection" URI from their NIP-47 compliant wallet application.  The wallet application may provide this URI using a QR screen, or a pasteable string, or some other means.

- 2. The **user** should then copy this URI into their **client(s)** by pasting, or scanning the QR, etc.  The **client(s)** should save this URI and use it later whenever the **user** makes a payment.  The **client** should then request an `info` (13194) event from the relay(s) specified in the URI.  The **wallet service** will have sent that event to those relays earlier, and the relays will hold it as a replaceable event.  
+ 2. The **user** should then copy this URI into their **client(s)** by pasting, or scanning the QR, etc.  The **client(s)** should save this URI and use it later whenever the **user** (or the **client** on the user's behalf) wants to interact with the wallet.  The **client** should then request an `info` (13194) event from the relay(s) specified in the URI.  The **wallet service** will have sent that event to those relays earlier, and the relays will hold it as a replaceable event.  
  
  3. When the **user** initiates a payment their nostr **client** create a `pay_invoice` request, encrypts it using a token from the URI, and sends it (kind 23194) to the relay(s) specified in the connection URI.  The **wallet service** will be listening on those relays and will decrypt the request and then contact the **user's** wallet application to send the payment.  The **wallet service** will know how to talk to the wallet application because the connection URI specified relay(s) that have access to the wallet app API.  
  
- 4. Once the payment is complete the **wallet service** will send an encrypted `response` (kind 23195) to the **user** over the relay(s) in the URI.

 - `NIP-47 info event`: 13194

 - `NIP-47 response`: 23195

+
+The content should be a plaintext string with the supported capabilities space-separated, eg. `pay_invoice get_balance notifications`.
+
+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`.
+
+### 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.

 The `error` field MUST contain a `message` field with a human readable error message and a `code` field with the error code if the command was not successful.
 If the command was successful, the `error` field must be null.
 
+### Notification Events
+
+The notification event SHOULD contain one `p` tag, the public key of the **user**.
+
+The content of notifications is encrypted with [NIP04](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md), and is a JSON-RPCish object with a semi-fixed structure:

 ### Error codes
 - `RATE_LIMITED`: The client is sending commands too fast. It should retry in a few seconds.
 - `NOT_IMPLEMENTED`: The command is not known or is intentionally not implemented.

 ## 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.
