Users who create community content often want donations as a financial incentive. However, forcing users to open their wallet and copy-paste an address lowers the amount of people likely to send tokens (especially if they have to sync their wallet first).

If donating was as simple as clicking a link that opens a light wallet with pre-populated fields, users may be more willing to send tokens. URI schemes would enable users to easily
make payments by simply clicking links on webpages or scanning QR Codes.

# Specification

The core implementation should follow the [BIP-21](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0021.mediawiki) standard (with `bitcoin:` replaced with `web+cardano:`)

Rationale:
- Use `cardano:` over `ada:` as other projects that implement this standard tend to take the project name over the currency name (this makes sense if we consider this protocol as a generic way for interacting with the blockchain through wallets -as opposed to a simple payment system)
- Use `cardano:` over `ada:` as other projects that implement this standard tend to take the project name over the currency name (this makes sense if we consider this protocol as a generic way for interacting with the blockchain through wallets - as opposed to a simple payment system)
- Many wallets support multiple currencies. Following the same standard will ensure higher adoption of our protocol.
