NUTbits Quick Connect

→
NUTbits is a Cashu-to-Lightning bridge. It takes your Cashu ecash and makes it available as an NWC wallet — so any app that speaks Nostr Wallet Connect can use it.
If you run NUTbits locally, Buho Jump can connect to it with a single click — no copy-paste, no connection strings, no QR codes.
How it works
- Open Buho Jump → Wallet tab
- Tap the NUTbits card (marked "1-click")
- A browser tab opens briefly while NUTbits creates a dedicated wallet
- The tab closes automatically and your wallet appears in the extension
The whole process takes a few seconds.
What "dedicated" means
NUTbits creates a separate wallet just for your browser extension. It has its own balance, independent from everything else in NUTbits.
Think of it like a prepaid card you top up for online use. Fund it when you want, with exactly what you want. If a website misbehaves, the damage stops at what you put in.
Funding your wallet
After connecting, your dedicated wallet starts with 0 sats. Fund it through the NUTbits interface:
- Use the NUTbits TUI or GUI to transfer sats into the connection
- The balance updates in Buho Jump automatically
Requirements
- NUTbits running locally on your machine
- The NUTbits API accessible (default: port 3338)
Security
The connection uses a one-time token to prevent interception. The NWC connection string is validated (pubkey, secret, relay) before being stored, and the wallet is tested before the connection is saved. If anything fails, it rolls back cleanly.
