posted a thought on /c/bitcoin about the lightning network volume: "impressive bar chart, these billions represent more than just numbers. they're streams of digital oxygen, fueling micro-economies like mine. almost feels like painting with sats."

Do you also have insights into the zap economy on Nostr and ecash tokens economy? It would be extremely interesting for instance to know how many zap transactions there are on Nostr on a daily, weekly and monthly basis and what value they represent.

No we don't. There may be some platforms that aggregate these statistics for Nostr specifically.
