Plugins

PROPOSAL - NOT IMPLEMENTED

This documentation describes a proposed plugin architecture for LaWallet. These features are not yet implemented and are not included in the current roadmap. This is a community suggestion that may be developed as a contribution in the future.

Overview

LaWallet can be extended through a plugin system that adds functionality without modifying the core application. Plugins are modular, opt-in features that enhance the LaWallet ecosystem.

Proposed Plugin Architecture

LaWallet (core)
├── Plugin: Events
│   └── Create and manage community events with check-in
│
├── Plugin: Badges
│   └── Issue and verify Nostr badges for reputation
│
└── Plugin: Commerce
    └── Merchant directory with badge-based discounts

Design Principles

1. Non-invasive: Plugins should not require changes to core LaWallet code
2. Optional: Users can enable/disable plugins as needed
3. Interoperable: Plugins communicate via Nostr events and Lightning payments
4. Open: Plugin specs are public, anyone can implement compatible services

Proposed Plugins

How Plugins Would Work

Integration Points

Plugins would integrate with LaWallet through:

1. Nostr Events: Using NIPs for badges (NIP-58), events, and custom kinds
2. Lightning Payments: Zaps for rewards, payments for services
3. UI Components: Embeddable components for the LaWallet interface
4. API Endpoints: REST/WebSocket endpoints for plugin functionality

Data Flow Example

User attends event
    │
    ▼
Check-in via QR/NFC (Events Plugin)
    │
    ▼
Badge issued to user's Nostr pubkey (Badges Plugin)
    │
    ▼
User visits merchant, scans wallet QR
    │
    ▼
Merchant reads badges, applies discount (Commerce Plugin)
    │
    ▼
Payment via Lightning with discount applied

1. Review the individual plugin documentation
2. Open a discussion on the LaWallet repository
3. Submit a proposal with technical specifications
4. Implement and submit a pull request
