"nostr" stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays" and is an open protocol for censorship-resistant global networks created by @fiatjaf.

Protocol

  • nostr - overview and FAQ
  • NIPs - the "Nostr Implementation Possibilities" describe the protocol in technical detail
  • nostr, a basic tour - an intro to nostr

Relays

Relays are (so far) application agnostic. You can run your own or use any or all of the public instances.
