NIP-08, or Handling Mentions, is a standard that outlines how clients, or software programs that interact with the Nostr messaging network, should handle mentions of other events and pubkeys within the content of text_notes. One key aspect of NIP-08 is the use of autocomplete components or similar features when a user starts typing a special …
BIP39 is a standard that defines how to generate a mnemonic phrase, which is a group of words that can be used to represent a large, randomly generated number. This mnemonic phrase can then be used to generate a binary seed, which is a representation of the same number in binary form. The binary seed …
NIP-26, or “Delegated Event Signing,” is a proposal for how events on the Nostr protocol can be delegated and signed by other keypairs. This feature introduces a new tag called “delegation,” which allows a user’s public key to authorize other keypairs to generate events on their behalf. One application of this proposal is to abstract …
Nostr is a decentralized protocol that allows users to create and interact with social media networks and other types of content sharing systems. It is designed to be censorship-resistant, meaning that it is difficult for any central authority or individual to censor or control the content that is shared on the platform. One of the …
NIP stands for Nostr Implementation Possibility. It is a document that outlines the standards and guidelines for implementing Nostr-compatible software, including both client and relay software. Nostr is a decentralized social networking protocol that allows users to communicate and share content in a censorship-resistant manner. It operates by using relays, which are servers that accept …
NIP-05, also known as NIP05 or NIP5, is a Nostr Improvement Proposal that outlines a process for mapping Nostr keys to DNS-based internet identifiers. This allows users to associate their Nostr public keys with a human-readable internet address, such as “mycooluser@mydomain.com”. This makes it easier for users to find and follow each other on Nostr, …

NIP-05, also known as NIP05 or NIP5, is a Nostr Improvement Proposal that outlines a process for mapping Nostr public keys to DNS-based internet identifiers. This allows users to associate their Nostr public keys with a human-readable internet address, such as “bob@example.com“. These human readable addresses create a much more usable experience on Nostr. It …
A Nostr relay is a server that facilitates the sending and receiving of messages on the Nostr network known as events. It acts as a bridge between clients, which are the software applications that users interact with to send and receive messages, and the Nostr network itself. The Nostr network is a decentralized messaging platform …
Nostr clients are software applications that allow users to connect to the Nostr protocol and interact with it. The Nostr protocol is a decentralized social network that is built on the principles of free speech and censorship resistance. It allows users to create posts, follow other users, and share content with one another. There are …
