Apple has warned decentralized social network Damus about pote | Crypto Update HQ

Apple has warned decentralized social network Damus about potential app store removal due to its content monetization feature. The feature, called zaps, allows users to earn satoshis for viewing posts using the Lightning Network's micropayment system. Damus developers may consider removing zaps to stay on the app store, but they believe it would hinder blockchain innovation with Lightning. Damus clarifies that it doesn't sell digital goods and only facilitates P2P transactions through tips, similar to Venmo or CashApp. The social network operates on the Nostr decentralized network for secure messaging. Since introducing monetization and zaps, Damus has faced fraudulent projects impersonating genuine crypto protocols.
