"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
- Nostr: Solucionando la censura de una vez por todas
- UseNostr - A small guide for anyone who wants to learn more about how nostr works and what it can do.
- nostr.how - Quick-start to onboard desktop users with Alby & Astral
Relays
Relays are (so far) application agnostic. You can run your own or use any or all of the public instances.
Implementations
- NNostr - a C# relay
- nostr-rs-relay - a minimalistic relay written in Rust that saves data on SQLite
- Relayer Basic - a simple relay based on relayer backed by Postgres
- nodestr - a Node.js implementation
- expensive relay- a relay that requires payment for registration
- me.untethr.nostr-relay - a relay written in Clojure
- Minds Nostr Relay - a relay for Minds, an open-source social network
- Minds Engine - Nostr - relevant Minds API code for reading/writing Minds posts using Nostr
- NostrPostr Relay - a Kotlin Relay supporting both SQLite and Postgresql
- nostrypy - relay, client, and other tooling in python
- nostream - a nostr relay written in Typescript backed by PostgreSQL (renamed from nostr-ts-relay)
- nostr_relay – a nostr relay written in python, backed by SQLite
- søstr – a private nostr relay written in rust, saves all notes from one pubkey and publish them to anyone that requests them
- knostr – a nostr relay implemented in Kotlin with support for Postgres and metrics(micrometer).

Deprecated
- anigma.io - has known xss attack vulnerabilities, which can put private key at risk, or risk signing events you may not want to send.
- nvote - it does server side processing, and even private key is handled server side, and as such is deprecated for normal use.
