These four short steps will have you set up in a just a few minutes.

2. Choose your Lightning Address

Your Lightning Address is how others send you sats. Pick something short, memorable, and easy to share.

We also have guides for other popular Nostr clients like Primal, Damus, Alby, and Amethyst. See all tutorials here.


4. Request a test zap

To get a small test payment from Rizful:

  1. Create a new Nostr post.
  2. In the post include:
    • your ___@rizful.com Lightning Address
    • the text @Rizful.com

That tells Rizful to send a small test zap. Most users receive it within a few hours.
