+
+Relationship Status
+-------------------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+This NIP defines two new event kinds (`30382` and `31382`) to document the relationship between two keys. 
+
+Both kinds offer public and private tags to describe that relationship. Private tags are JSON Stringified, [NIP-44](44.md)-encrypted to the signer's keys and placed inside the `.content` of the event. 
+
+### Public Relationship Status
+
+Event kind `30382` is used when the relationship itself is public. The `d` tag contains the target public key in hex.
+
+```js
+{
+  "kind": 30382,
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "e88a691e98d9987c964521dff60025f60700378a4879180dcbbb4a5027850411"],
+    ["n", "follow"],
+    ["n", "bitcoiner"],
+    ["n", "6064460175057025"]
+  ],
+  "content": nip44Encrypt(JSON.stringify([
+    ["petname", "NVK (Coldcard)"],
+    ["summary", "Owes me a beer"]
+  ])),
+  // ...other fields
+}
+```
+
+`petname` SHOULD be rendered instead of the person's display name in all interfaces when the signer of this event is logged in.
+
+### Relationship Categories
+
+Optional `n` tags `["n", "<identifier>"]` add the target key to event sets. This allows clients to query by `n` and download all members of a set. 
+
+Set `identifier` can be human readable and public or not. 
+
+For private cases, a new event kind named "Event Set Names" (`kind:10008`) uses `map` tags to store the set name. Clients SHOULD display the `name` instead of the `identifier` if the `identifier` is present in this event.
+
+```js
+{
+  "kind": 10008,
+  "content": nip44Encrypt(JSON.stringify([
+    ["map", "<identifier>", "<name>"],
+    ["map", "bitcoiner", "bitcoiner"], 
+    ["map", "6064460175057025", "debtor"]
+  ])),
+  // ...other fields
+}
+```
+
+### Private Relationship Status
+
+For relationships that must remain private (e.g private follows, client lists, etc), the event kind `31382` uses a similar structure but with a hashed `d` tag using [NIP-44](44.md)'s `hkdf` function. 
+
+```js
+{
+  "kind": 31382,
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", sha256(hkdf(private_key, salt: 'nip81') || "<pubkey>")],
+    ["n", "6064460175057025"],
+  ],
+  "content": nip44Encrypt(JSON.stringify([
+    ["p", "<pubkey>", "<relay url>"],
+    ["n", "client-list"],
+    ["petname", "<My buddy>"],
+    ["summary", "<Summary of the relationship>"],
+  ])),
+  // ...other fields
+}
+```
