### Tags
Each tag is an array of strings of arbitrary size, with some conventions around them. Take a look at the example below:
```json
{
...,
"tags": [
["e", "5c83da77af1dec6d7289834998ad7aafbd9e2191396d75ec3cc27f5a77226f36", "wss://nostr.example.com"],
["p", "f7234bd4c1394dda46d09f35bd384dd30cc552ad5541990f98844fb06676e9ca"],
["a", "30023:f7234bd4c1394dda46d09f35bd384dd30cc552ad5541990f98844fb06676e9ca:abcd", "wss://nostr.example.com"],
["alt", "reply"],
...
],
...
}
```
The first element of the tag array is referred to as the tag _name_ or _key_ and the second as the tag _value_. So we can safely say that the event above has an `e` tag set to `"5c83da77af1dec6d7289834998ad7aafbd9e2191396d75ec3cc27f5a77226f36"`, an `alt` tag set to `"reply"` and so on. All elements after the second do not have a conventional name.
This NIP defines 3 standard tags that can be used across all event kinds with the same meaning. They are as follows:
- The `e` tag, used to refer to an event: `["e", <32-bytes lowercase hex of the id of another event>, <recommended relay URL, optional>]`
- The `p` tag, used to refer to another user: `["p", <32-bytes lowercase hex of a pubkey>, <recommended relay URL, optional>]`
- The `a` tag, used to refer to a (maybe parameterized) replaceable event
- for a parameterized replaceable event: `["a", <kind integer>:<32-bytes lowercase hex of a pubkey>:<d tag value>, <recommended relay URL, optional>]`
- for a non-parameterized replaceable event: `["a", <kind integer>:<32-bytes lowercase hex of a pubkey>:, <recommended relay URL, optional>]`
As a convention, all single-letter (only english alphabet letters: a-z, A-Z) key tags are expected to be indexed by relays, such that it is possible, for example, to query or subscribe to events that reference the event `"5c83da77af1dec6d7289834998ad7aafbd9e2191396d75ec3cc27f5a77226f36"` by using the `{"#e": "5c83da77af1dec6d7289834998ad7aafbd9e2191396d75ec3cc27f5a77226f36"}` filter.
### Kinds
Kinds specify how clients should interpret the meaning of each event and the other fields of each event (e.g. an `"r"` tag may have a meaning in an event of kind 1 and an entirely different meaning in an event of kind 10002). Each NIP may define the meaning of a set of kinds that weren't defined elsewhere. This NIP defines two basic kinds:
- `0`: **metadata**: the `content` is set to a stringified JSON object `{name: <username>, about: <string>, picture: <url, string>}` describing the user who created the event. A relay may delete older events once it gets a new one for the same pubkey.
- `1`: **text note**: the `content` is set to the **plaintext** content of a note (anything the user wants to say). Content that must be parsed, such as Markdown and HTML, should not be used. Clients should also not parse content as those.
And also a convention for kind ranges that allow for easier experimentation and flexibility of relay implementation:
- for kind `n` such that `1000 <= n < 10000`, events are **regular**, which means they're all expected to be stored by relays.
- for kind `n` such that `10000 <= n < 20000 || n == 0 || n == 3`, events are **replaceable**, which means that, for each combination of `pubkey` and `kind`, only the latest event MUST be stored by relays, older versions MAY be discarded.
- for kind `n` such that `20000 <= n < 30000`, events are **ephemeral**, which means they are not expected to be stored by relays.
- for kind `n` such that `30000 <= n < 40000`, events are **parameterized replaceable**, which means that, for each combination of `pubkey`, `kind` and the `d` tag's first value, only the latest event MUST be stored by relays, older versions MAY be discarded.
In case of replaceable events with the same timestamp, the event with the lowest id (first in lexical order) should be retained, and the other discarded.
When answering to `REQ` messages for replaceable events such as `{"kinds":[0],"authors":[<hex-key>]}`, even if the relay has more than one version stored, it SHOULD return just the latest one.
These are just conventions and relay implementations may differ.
## Communication between clients and relays
Relays expose a websocket endpoint to which clients can connect.
Relays expose a websocket endpoint to which clients can connect. Clients SHOULD open a single websocket connection to each relay and use it for all their subscriptions. Relays MAY limit number of connections from specific IP/client/etc.
### Meaning of WebSocket status codes
- When a websocket is closed by the relay with a status code `4000` that means the client shouldn't try to connect again.

* `["REQ", <subscription_id>, <filters JSON>...]`, used to request events and subscribe to new updates.
* `["CLOSE", <subscription_id>]`, used to stop previous subscriptions.
`<subscription_id>` is an arbitrary, non-empty string of max length 64 chars, that should be used to represent a subscription.
`<subscription_id>` is an arbitrary, non-empty string of max length 64 chars, that should be used to represent a subscription. Relays should manage `<subscription_id>`s independently for each WebSocket connection; even if `<subscription_id>`s are the same string, they should be treated as different subscriptions for different connections.
`<filters>` is a JSON object that determines what events will be sent in that subscription, it can have the following attributes:
```json
{
"ids": <a list of event ids or prefixes>,
"authors": <a list of pubkeys or prefixes, the pubkey of an event must be one of these>,
"ids": <a list of event ids>,
"authors": <a list of lowercase pubkeys, the pubkey of an event must be one of these>,
"kinds": <a list of a kind numbers>,
"#e": <a list of event ids that are referenced in an "e" tag>,
"#p": <a list of pubkeys that are referenced in a "p" tag>,
"#<single-letter (a-zA-Z)>": <a list of tag values, for #e — a list of event ids, for #p — a list of event pubkeys etc>,
"since": <an integer unix timestamp in seconds, events must be newer than this to pass>,
"until": <an integer unix timestamp in seconds, events must be older than this to pass>,
"limit": <maximum number of events to be returned in the initial query>
"limit": <maximum number of events relays SHOULD return in the initial query>
}
```
Upon receiving a `REQ` message, the relay SHOULD query its internal database and return events that match the filter, then store that filter and send again all future events it receives to that same websocket until the websocket is closed. The `CLOSE` event is received with the same `<subscription_id>` or a new `REQ` is sent using the same `<subscription_id>`, in which case it should overwrite the previous subscription.

Filter attributes containing lists (such as `ids`, `kinds`, or `#e`) are JSON arrays with one or more values. At least one of the array's values must match the relevant field in an event for the condition itself to be considered a match. For scalar event attributes such as `kind`, the attribute from the event must be contained in the filter list. For tag attributes such as `#e`, where an event may have multiple values, the event and filter condition values must have at least one item in common.
Filter attributes containing lists (`ids`, `authors`, `kinds` and tag filters like `#e`) are JSON arrays with one or more values. At least one of the arrays' values must match the relevant field in an event for the condition to be considered a match. For scalar event attributes such as `authors` and `kind`, the attribute from the event must be contained in the filter list. In the case of tag attributes such as `#e`, for which an event may have multiple values, the event and filter condition values must have at least one item in common.
The `ids` and `authors` lists contain lowercase hexadecimal strings, which may either be an exact 64-character match, or a prefix of the event value. A prefix match is when the filter string is an exact string prefix of the event value. The use of prefixes allows for more compact filters where a large number of values are queried, and can provide some privacy for clients that may not want to disclose the exact authors or events they are searching for.
The `ids`, `authors`, `#e` and `#p` filter lists MUST contain exact 64-character lowercase hex values.
The `since` and `until` properties can be used to specify the time range of events returned in the subscription. If a filter includes the `since` property, events with `created_at` greater than or equal to `since` are considered to match the filter. The `until` property is similar except that `created_at` must be less than or equal to `until`. In short, an event matches a filter if `since <= created_at <= until` holds.
All conditions of a filter that are specified must match for an event for it to pass the filter, i.e., multiple conditions are interpreted as `&&` conditions.
A `REQ` message may contain multiple filters. In this case, events that match any of the filters are to be returned, i.e., multiple filters are to be interpreted as `||` conditions.
The `limit` property of a filter is only valid for the initial query and can be ignored afterward. When `limit: n` is present it is assumed that the events returned in the initial query will be the latest `n` events. It is safe to return less events than `limit` specifies, but it is expected that relays do not return (much) more events than requested so clients don't get unnecessarily overwhelmed by data.
The `limit` property of a filter is only valid for the initial query and MUST be ignored afterwards. When `limit: n` is present it is assumed that the events returned in the initial query will be the last `n` events ordered by the `created_at`. It is safe to return less events than `limit` specifies, but it is expected that relays do not return (much) more events than requested so clients don't get unnecessarily overwhelmed by data.
### From relay to client: sending events and notices
Relays can send 3 types of messages, which must also be JSON arrays, according to the following patterns:
Relays can send 4 types of messages, which must also be JSON arrays, according to the following patterns:
* `["EVENT", <subscription_id>, <event JSON as defined above>]`, used to send events requested by clients.
* `["OK", <event_id>, <true|false>, <message>]`, used to indicate acceptance or denial of an `EVENT` message.
* `["EOSE", <subscription_id>]`, used to indicate the _end of stored events_ and the beginning of events newly received in real-time.
* `["NOTICE", <message>]`, used to send human-readable error messages or other things to clients.
This NIP defines no rules for how `NOTICE` messages should be sent or treated.
`EVENT` messages MUST be sent only with a subscription ID related to a subscription previously initiated by the client (using the `REQ` message above).
- `EVENT` messages MUST be sent only with a subscription ID related to a subscription previously initiated by the client (using the `REQ` message above).
- `OK` messages MUST be sent in response to `EVENT` messages received from clients, they must have the 3rd parameter set to `true` when an event has been accepted by the relay, `false` otherwise. The 4th parameter MUST always be present, but MAY be an empty string when the 3rd is `true`, otherwise it MUST be a string formed by a machine-readable single-word prefix followed by a `:` and then a human-readable message. The standardized machine-readable prefixes are: `duplicate`, `pow`, `blocked`, `rate-limited`, `invalid`, and `error` for when none of that fits. Some examples:
## Basic Event Kinds
- `0`: `set_metadata`: the `content` is set to a stringified JSON object `{name: <username>, about: <string>, picture: <url, string>}` describing the user who created the event. A relay may delete past `set_metadata` events once it gets a new one for the same pubkey.
- `1`: `text_note`: the `content` is set to the **plaintext** content of a note (anything the user wants to say). Content that must be parsed, such as Markdown and HTML, should not be used. Clients should also not parse content as those.
- `2`: `recommend_server`: the `content` is set to the URL (e.g., `wss://somerelay.com`) of a relay the event creator wants to recommend to its followers.
A relay may choose to treat different message kinds differently, and it may or may not choose to have a default way to handle kinds it doesn't know about.
## Other Notes:
- Clients should not open more than one websocket to each relay. One channel can support an unlimited number of subscriptions, so clients should do that.
- The `tags` array can store a tag identifier as the first element of each subarray, plus arbitrary information afterward (always as strings). This NIP defines `"p"` — meaning "pubkey", which points to a pubkey of someone that is referred to in the event —, and `"e"` — meaning "event", which points to the id of an event this event is quoting, replying to or referring to somehow. See [NIP-10](10.md) for a detailed description of "e" and "p" tags.
- The `<recommended relay URL>` item present on the `"e"` and `"p"` tags is an optional (could be set to `""`) URL of a relay the client could attempt to connect to fetch the tagged event or other events from a tagged profile. It MAY be ignored, but it exists to increase censorship resistance and make the spread of relay addresses more seamless across clients.
- Clients should use the created_at field to judge the age of a metadata event and completely replace older metadata events with newer metadata events regardless of the order in which they arrive. Clients should not merge any filled fields within older metadata events into empty fields of newer metadata events.
- When a websocket is closed by the relay with a status code 4000 that means the client shouldn't try to connect again.
* `["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", true, ""]`
* `["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", true, "pow: difficulty 25>=24"]`
* `["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", true, "duplicate: already have this event"]`
* `["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "blocked: you are banned from posting here"]`
* `["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "blocked: please register your pubkey at https://my-expensive-relay.example.com"]`
* `["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "rate-limited: slow down there chief"]`
* `["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "invalid: event creation date is too far off from the current time. Is your system clock in sync?"]`
* `["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "pow: difficulty 26 is less than 30"]`
* `["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "error: could not connect to the database"]`

OpenTimestamps Attestations for Events
--------------------------------------
`draft` `optional` `author:fiatjaf`
`draft` `optional`
When there is an OTS available it MAY be included in the existing event body under the `ots` key:
This NIP defines an event with `kind:1040` that can contain an [OpenTimestamps](https://opentimestamps.org/) proof for any other event:
```
```json
{
"id": ...,
"kind": ...,
...,
...,
"ots": <base64-encoded OTS file data>
"kind": 1040
"tags": [
["e", <event-id>, <relay-url>],
["alt", "opentimestamps attestation"]
],
"content": <base64-encoded OTS file data>
}
```
The _event id_ MUST be used as the raw hash to be included in the OpenTimestamps merkle tree.
- The OpenTimestamps proof MUST prove the referenced `e` event id as its digest.
- The `content` MUST be the full content of an `.ots` file containing at least one Bitcoin attestation. This file SHOULD contain a **single** Bitcoin attestation (as not more than one valid attestation is necessary and less bytes is better than more) and no reference to "pending" attestations since they are useless in this context.
The attestation can be either provided by relays automatically (and the OTS binary contents just appended to the events it receives) or by clients themselves when they first upload the event to relays — and used by clients to show that an event is really "at least as old as [OTS date]".

Although there is a link to a very liberal "internet identifier" specification above, NIP-05 assumes the `<local-part>` part will be restricted to the characters `a-z0-9-_.`, case-insensitive.
Upon seeing that, the client splits the identifier into `<local-part>` and `<domain>` and use these values to make a GET request to `https://<domain>/.well-known/nostr.json?name=<local-part>`.
The result should be a JSON document object with a key `"names"` that should then be a mapping of names to hex formatted public keys. If the public key for the given `<name>` matches the `pubkey` from the `set_metadata` event, the client then concludes that the given pubkey can indeed be referenced by its identifier.

* `<marker>` is optional and if present is one of `"reply"`, `"root"`, or `"mention"`.
**The order of marked "e" tags is not relevant.** Those marked with `"reply"` denote the id of the reply event being responded to. Those marked with `"root"` denote the root id of the reply thread being responded to. For top level replies (those replying directly to the root event), only the `"root"` marker should be used. Those marked with `"mention"` denote a quoted or reposted event id.

For top level replies (those replying directly to the root event), only the `"root"` marker should be used. Those marked with `"mention"` denote a quoted or reposted event id.
A direct reply to the root of a thread should have a single marked "e" tag of type "root".

Field Descriptions
-----------------
------------------
### Name ###
### Name
A relay may select a `name` for use in client software. This is a string, and SHOULD be less than 30 characters to avoid client truncation.
### Description ###
### Description
Detailed plain-text information about the relay may be contained in the `description` string. It is recommended that this contain no markup, formatting or line breaks for word wrapping, and simply use double newline characters to separate paragraphs. There are no limitations on length.
### Pubkey ###
### Pubkey
An administrative contact may be listed with a `pubkey`, in the same format as Nostr events (32-byte hex for a `secp256k1` public key). If a contact is listed, this provides clients with a recommended address to send encrypted direct messages (See `NIP-04`) to a system administrator. Expected uses of this address are to report abuse or illegal content, file bug reports, or request other technical assistance.
Relay operators have no obligation to respond to direct messages.
### Contact ###
### Contact
An alternative contact may be listed under the `contact` field as well, with the same purpose as `pubkey`. Use of a Nostr public key and direct message SHOULD be preferred over this. Contents of this field SHOULD be a URI, using schemes such as `mailto` or `https` to provide users with a means of contact.
### Supported NIPs ###
### Supported NIPs
As the Nostr protocol evolves, some functionality may only be available by relays that implement a specific `NIP`. This field is an array of the integer identifiers of `NIP`s that are implemented in the relay. Examples would include `1`, for `"NIP-01"` and `9`, for `"NIP-09"`. Client-side `NIPs` SHOULD NOT be advertised, and can be ignored by clients.
### Software ###
### Software
The relay server implementation MAY be provided in the `software` attribute. If present, this MUST be a URL to the project's homepage.
### Version ###
### Version
The relay MAY choose to publish its software version as a string attribute. The string format is defined by the relay implementation. It is recommended this be a version number or commit identifier.

Generic Tag Queries
-------------------
`draft` `optional` `author:scsibug` `author:fiatjaf`
`final` `mandatory`
Relays may support subscriptions over arbitrary tags. `NIP-01` requires relays to respond to queries for `e` and `p` tags. This NIP allows any single-letter tag present in an event to be queried.
The `<filters>` object described in `NIP-01` is expanded to contain arbitrary keys with a `#` prefix. Any single-letter key in a filter beginning with `#` is a tag query, and MUST have a value of an array of strings. The filter condition matches if the event has a tag with the same name, and there is at least one tag value in common with the filter and event. The tag name is the letter without the `#`, and the tag value is the second element. Subsequent elements are ignored for the purposes of tag queries.
Example Subscription Filter
---------------------------
The following provides an example of a filter that matches events of kind `1` with an `r` tag set to either `foo` or `bar`.
```
{
"kinds": [1],
"#r": ["foo", "bar"]
}
```
Client Behavior
---------------
Clients SHOULD use the `supported_nips` field to learn if a relay supports generic tag queries. Clients MAY send generic tag queries to any relay, if they are prepared to filter out extraneous responses from relays that do not support this NIP.
Rationale
---------
The decision to reserve only single-letter tags to be usable in queries allow applications to make use of tags for all sorts of metadata, as it is their main purpose, without worrying that they might be bloating relay indexes. That also makes relays more lightweight, of course. And if some application or user is abusing single-letter tags with the intention of bloating relays that becomes easier to detect as single-letter tags will hardly be confused with some actually meaningful metadata some application really wanted to attach to the event with no spammy intentions.
Suggested Use Cases
-------------------
Motivating examples for generic tag queries are provided below. This NIP does not promote or standardize the use of any specific tag for any purpose.
* Decentralized Commenting System: clients can comment on arbitrary web pages, and easily search for other comments, by using a `r` ("reference", in this case an URL) tag and value.
* Location-specific Posts: clients can use a `g` ("geohash") tag to associate a post with a physical location. Clients can search for a set of geohashes of varying precisions near them to find local content.
* Hashtags: clients can use simple `t` ("hashtag") tags to associate an event with an easily searchable topic name. Since Nostr events themselves are not searchable through the protocol, this provides a mechanism for user-driven search.

Browsers often display threaded lists of messages. The contents of the subject tag can be used in such lists, instead of the more ad hoc approach of using the first few words of the message. This is very similar to the way email browsers display lists of incoming emails by subject rather than by contents.
When replying to a message with a subject, clients SHOULD replicate the subject tag. Clients MAY adorn the subject to denote
that it is a reply. e.g. by prepending "Re:".

## Customize Marketplace
Create a customized user experience using the `naddr` from [NIP-19](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/19.md#shareable-identifiers-with-extra-metadata). The use of `naddr` enables easy sharing of marketplace events while incorporating a rich set of metadata. This metadata can include relays, merchant profiles, and more. Subsequently, it allows merchants to be grouped into a market, empowering the market creator to configure the marketplace's user interface and user experience, and share that marketplace. This customization can encompass elements such as market name, description, logo, banner, themes, and even color schemes, offering a tailored and unique marketplace experience.

Event Treatment
---------------
`draft` `optional` `author:Semisol`
`final` `mandatory`
Relays may decide to allow replaceable and/or ephemeral events.
Regular Events
------------------
A *regular event* is defined as an event with a kind `1000 <= n < 10000`.
Upon a regular event being received, the relay SHOULD send it to all clients with a matching filter, and SHOULD store it. New events of the same kind do not affect previous events in any way.
Replaceable Events
------------------
A *replaceable event* is defined as an event with a kind `10000 <= n < 20000`.
Upon a replaceable event with a newer timestamp than the currently known latest replaceable event with the same kind and author being received, the old event SHOULD be discarded,
effectively replacing what gets returned when querying for
`author:kind` tuples.
If two events have the same timestamp, the event with the lowest id (first in lexical order) SHOULD be retained, and the other discarded.
Ephemeral Events
----------------
An *ephemeral event* is defined as an event with a kind `20000 <= n < 30000`.
Upon an ephemeral event being received, the relay SHOULD send it to all clients with a matching filter, and MUST NOT store it.
Client Behavior
---------------
Clients SHOULD use the `supported_nips` field to learn if a relay supports this NIP. Clients SHOULD NOT send ephemeral events to relays that do not support this NIP; they will most likely be persisted. Clients MAY send replaceable events to relays that may not support this NIP, and clients querying SHOULD be prepared for the relay to send multiple events and should use the latest one.
Suggested Use Cases
-------------------
* States: An application may create a state event that is replaced every time a new state is set (such as statuses)
* Typing indicators: A chat application may use ephemeral events as a typing indicator.
* Messaging: Two pubkeys can message over nostr using ephemeral events.

Command Results
---------------
`draft` `optional` `author:jb55`
`final` `mandatory`
When submitting events to relays, clients currently have no way to know if an event was successfully committed to the database. This NIP introduces the concept of command results which are like NOTICE's except provide more information about if an event was accepted or rejected.
A command result is a JSON object with the following structure that is returned when an event is successfully saved to the database or rejected:
["OK", <event_id>, <true|false>, <message>]
Relays MUST return `true` when the event is a duplicate and has already been saved. The `message` SHOULD start with `duplicate:` in this case.
Relays MUST return `false` when the event was rejected and not saved.
The `message` SHOULD provide additional information as to why the command succeeded or failed.
The `message` SHOULD start with `blocked:` if the pubkey or network address has been blocked, banned, or is not on a whitelist.
The `message` SHOULD start with `invalid:` if the event is invalid or doesn't meet some specific criteria (created_at is too far off, id is wrong, signature is wrong, etc)
The `message` SHOULD start with `pow:` if the event doesn't meet some proof-of-work difficulty. The client MAY consult the relay metadata at this point to retrieve the required posting difficulty.
The `message` SHOULD start with `rate-limited:` if the event was rejected due to rate limiting techniques.
The `message` SHOULD start with `error:` if the event failed to save due to a server issue.
Ephemeral events are not acknowledged with OK responses, unless there is a failure.
If the event or `EVENT` command is malformed and could not be parsed, a NOTICE message SHOULD be used instead of a command result. This NIP only applies to non-malformed EVENT commands.
Examples
--------
Event successfully written to the database:
["OK", "b1a649ebe8b435ec71d3784793f3bbf4b93e64e17568a741aecd4c7ddeafce30", true, ""]
Event successfully written to the database because of a reason:
["OK", "b1a649ebe8b435ec71d3784793f3bbf4b93e64e17568a741aecd4c7ddeafce30", true, "pow: difficulty 25>=24"]
Event blocked due to ip filter
["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "blocked: tor exit nodes not allowed"]
Event blocked due to pubkey ban
["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "blocked: you are banned from posting here"]
Event blocked, pubkey not registered
["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "blocked: please register your pubkey at https://my-expensive-relay.example.com"]
Event rejected, rate limited
["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "rate-limited: slow down there chief"]
Event rejected, `created_at` too far off
["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "invalid: event creation date is too far off from the current time. Is your system clock in sync?"]
Event rejected, insufficient proof-of-work difficulty
["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "pow: difficulty 26 is less than 30"]
Event failed to save,
["OK", "b1a649ebe8...", false, "error: could not connect to the database"]
Client Handling
---------------
`messages` are meant for humans, with `reason:` prefixes so that clients can be slightly more intelligent with what to do with them. For example, with a `rate-limited:` reason the client may not show anything and simply try again with a longer timeout.
For the `pow:` prefix it may query relay metadata to get the updated difficulty requirement and try again in the background.
For the `invalid:` and `blocked:` prefix the client may wish to show these as styled error popups.
The prefixes include a colon so that the message can be cleanly separated from the prefix by taking everything after `:` and trimming it.
Future Extensions
-----------------
This proposal SHOULD be extended to support further commands in the future, such as REQ and AUTH. They are left out of this initial version to keep things simpler.

Event `created_at` Limits
---------------------------
-------------------------
`draft` `optional` `author:jeffthibault` `author:Giszmo`
`draft` `optional`
Relays may define both upper and lower limits within which they will consider an event's `created_at` to be acceptable. Both the upper and lower limits MUST be unix timestamps in seconds as defined in [NIP-01](01.md).
If a relay supports this NIP, the relay SHOULD send the client a [NIP-20](20.md) command result saying the event was not stored for the `created_at` timestamp not being within the permitted limits.
If a relay supports this NIP, the relay SHOULD send the client an `OK` result saying the event was not stored for the `created_at` timestamp not being within the permitted limits.
Client Behavior
---------------
@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ This NIP formalizes restrictions on event timestamps as accepted by a relay and
The event `created_at` field is just a unix timestamp and can be set to a time in the past or future. Relays accept and share events dated to 20 years ago or 50,000 years in the future. This NIP aims to define a way for relays that do not want to store events with *any* timestamp to set their own restrictions.
[Replaceable events](16.md#replaceable-events) can behave rather unexpectedly if the user wrote them - or tried to write them - with a wrong system clock. Persisting an update with a backdated system now would result in the update not getting persisted without a notification and if they did the last update with a forward dated system, they will again fail to do another update with the now correct time.

A wide adoption of this NIP could create a better user experience as it would decrease the amount of events that appear wildly out of order or even from impossible dates in the distant past or future.

- `website`: a web URL related in any way to the event author.
- `banner`: an URL to a wide (~1024x768) picture to be optionally displayed in the background of a profile screen.
### Deprecated fields
These are fields that should be ignored or removed when found in the wild:
- `displayName`: use `display_name` instead.
- `username`: use `name` instead.

A label is a `kind 1985` event that is used to label other entities. This supports a number of use cases,
including distributed moderation, collection management, license assignment, and content classification.
This NIP introduces two new tags:
- `L` denotes a label namespace
- `l` denotes a label
Label Namespace Tag
----
An `L` tag can be any string, but publishers SHOULD ensure they are unambiguous by using a well-defined namespace
(such as an ISO standard) or reverse domain name notation.
`L` tags are REQUIRED in order to support searching by namespace rather than by a specific tag. The special `ugc`
("user generated content") namespace MAY be used when the label content is provided by an end user.
`L` tags starting with `#` indicate that the label target should be associated with the label's value.
This is a way of attaching standard nostr tags to events, pubkeys, relays, urls, etc.
Label Tag
----
An `l` tag's value can be any string. `l` tags MUST include a `mark` matching an `L` tag value in the same event.
Label Target
----

or topics respectively. As with NIP-01, a relay hint SHOULD be included when using `e` and
`p` tags.
Label Tag
----
This NIP introduces a new tag `l` which denotes a label, and a new `L` tag which denotes a label namespace.
A label MUST include a mark matching an `L` tag. `L` tags refer to a tag type within nostr, or a nomenclature
external to nostr defined either formally or by convention. Any string can be a namespace, but publishers SHOULD
ensure they are unambiguous by using a well-defined namespace (such as an ISO standard) or reverse domain name notation.
Namespaces starting with `#` indicate that the label target should be associated with the label's value.
This is a way of attaching standard nostr tags to events, pubkeys, relays, urls, etc.
Some examples:
- `["l", "footstr", "#t"]` - the publisher thinks the given entity should have the `footstr` topic applied.
- `["l", "<pubkey>", "#p"]` - the publisher thinks the given entity is related to `<pubkey>`
- `["l", "IT-MI", "ISO-3166-2"]` - Milano, Italy using ISO 3166-2.
- `["l", "VI-hum", "com.example.ontology"]` - Violence toward a human being as defined by ontology.example.com.
`L` tags containing the label namespaces MUST be included in order to support searching by
namespace rather than by a specific tag. The special `ugc` ("user generated content") namespace
MAY be used when the label content is provided by an end user.
`l` and `L` tags MAY be added to other event kinds to support self-reporting. For events
with a kind other than 1985, labels refer to the event itself.
Label Annotations
-----
A label tag MAY include a 4th positional element detailing extra metadata about the label in question. This string
should be a json-encoded object. Any key MAY be used, but the following are recommended:
- `quality` may have a value of 0 to 1. This allows for an absolute, granular scale that can be represented in any way (5 stars, color scale, etc).
- `confidence` may have a value of 0 to 1. This indicates the certainty which the author has about their rating.
- `context` may be an array of urls (including NIP-21 urls) indicating other context that should be considered when interpreting labels.
Content
-------
Labels should be short, meaningful strings. Longer discussions, such as for a review, or an
explanation of why something was labeled the way it was, should go in the event's `content` field.
Self-Reporting
-------
`l` and `L` tags MAY be added to other event kinds to support self-reporting. For events
with a kind other than 1985, labels refer to the event itself.

A good heuristic for whether a use case fits this NIP is whether labels would ever be unique.
For example, many events might be labeled with a particular place, topic, or pubkey, but labels
with specific values like "John Doe" or "3.18743" are not labels, they are values, and should
be handled in some other way.

Parameterized Replaceable Events
--------------------------------
`draft` `optional` `author:Semisol` `author:Kukks` `author:Cameri` `author:Giszmo`
`final` `mandatory`
This NIP adds a new event range that allows for replacement of events that have the same `d` tag and kind unlike NIP-16 which only replaced by kind.
Implementation
--------------
The value of a tag can be any string and is defined as the first parameter of a tag after the tag name.
A *parameterized replaceable event* is defined as an event with a kind `30000 <= n < 40000`.
Upon a parameterized replaceable event with a newer timestamp than the currently known latest
replaceable event with the same kind, author and first `d` tag value being received, the old event
SHOULD be discarded, effectively replacing what gets returned when querying for
`author:kind:d-tag` tuples.
If two events have the same timestamp, the event with the lowest id (first in lexical order) SHOULD be retained, and the other discarded.
A missing or a `d` tag with no value should be interpreted equivalent to a `d` tag with the
value as an empty string. Events from the same author with any of the following `tags`
replace each other:
* `"tags":[["d",""]]`
* `"tags":[]`: implicit `d` tag with empty value
* `"tags":[["d"]]`: implicit empty value `""`
* `"tags":[["d",""],["d","not empty"]]`: only first `d` tag is considered
* `"tags":[["d"],["d","some value"]]`: only first `d` tag is considered
* `"tags":[["e"]]`: same as no tags
* `"tags":[["d","","1"]]`: only the first value is considered (`""`)
Clients SHOULD NOT use `d` tags with multiple values and SHOULD include the `d` tag even if it has no value to allow querying using the `#d` filter.
Referencing and tagging
-----------------------
Normally (as per NIP-01, NIP-12) the `"p"` tag is used for referencing public keys and the
`"e"` tag for referencing event ids and the `note`, `npub`, `nprofile` or `nevent` are their
equivalents for event tags (i.e. an `nprofile` is generally translated into a tag
`["p", "<event hex id>", "<relay url>"]`).
To support linking to parameterized replaceable events, the `naddr` code is introduced on
NIP-19. It includes the public key of the event author and the `d` tag (and relays) such that
the referenced combination of public key and `d` tag can be found.
The equivalent in `tags` to the `naddr` code is the tag `"a"`, comprised of `["a", "<kind>:<pubkey>:<d-identifier>", "<relay url>"]`.
Client Behavior
---------------
Clients SHOULD use the `supported_nips` field to learn if a relay supports this NIP.
Clients MAY send parameterized replaceable events to relays that may not support this NIP, and clients querying SHOULD be prepared for the relay to send multiple events and should use the latest one and are recommended to send a `#d` tag filter. Clients should account for the fact that missing `d` tags or ones with no value are not returned in tag filters, and are recommended to always include a `d` tag with a value.

User Statuses
--------------
`draft` `optional`
## Abstract
This NIP enables a way for users to share live statuses such as what music they are listening to, as well as what they are currently doing: work, play, out of office, etc.
## Live Statuses
A special event with `kind:30315` "User Status" is defined as an *optionally expiring* _parameterized replaceable event_, where the `d` tag represents the status type:
For example:
```js
{
"kind": 30315,
"content": "Sign up for nostrasia!",
"tags": [
["d", "general"],
["r", "https://nostr.world"]
],
}
{
"kind": 30315,
"content": "Intergalatic - Beastie Boys",
"tags": [
["d", "music"],
["r", "spotify:search:Intergalatic%20-%20Beastie%20Boys"],
["expiration", "1692845589"]
],
}
```
Two common status types are defined: `general` and `music`. `general` represent general statuses: "Working", "Hiking", etc.
`music` status events are for live streaming what you are currently listening to. The expiry of the `music` status should be when the track will stop playing.
Any other status types can be used but they are not defined by this NIP.
The status MAY include an `r`, `p`, `e` or `a` tag linking to a URL, profile, note, or parameterized replaceable event.
# Client behavior
Clients MAY display this next to the username on posts or profiles to provide live user status information.
# Use Cases
* Calendar nostr apps that update your general status when you're in a meeting
* Nostr Nests that update your general status with a link to the nest when you join
* Nostr music streaming services that update your music status when you're listening
* Podcasting apps that update your music status when you're listening to a podcast, with a link for others to listen as well
* Clients can use the system media player to update playing music status
The `content` MAY include emoji(s), or [NIP-30](30.md) custom emoji(s). If the `content` is an empty string then the client should clear the status.

Proxy Tags
----------
`draft` `optional`
Nostr events bridged from other protocols such as ActivityPub can link back to the source object by including a `"proxy"` tag, in the form:
```
["proxy", <id>, <protocol>]
```
Where:
- `<id>` is the ID of the source object. The ID format varies depending on the protocol. The ID must be universally unique, regardless of the protocol.
- `<protocol>` is the name of the protocol, e.g. `"activitypub"`.
Clients may use this information to reconcile duplicated content bridged from other protocols, or to display a link to the source object.
Proxy tags may be added to any event kind, and doing so indicates that the event did not originate on the Nostr protocol, and instead originated elsewhere on the web.
### Supported protocols
This list may be extended in the future.
| Protocol | ID format | Example |
| -------- | --------- | ------- |
| `activitypub` | URL | `https://gleasonator.com/objects/9f524868-c1a0-4ee7-ad51-aaa23d68b526` |
| `atproto` | AT URI | `at://did:plc:zhbjlbmir5dganqhueg7y4i3/app.bsky.feed.post/3jt5hlibeol2i` |

`draft` `optional`
A "list" event is defined as having a list of public and/or private tags. Public tags will be listed in the event `tags`. Private tags will be encrypted in the event `content`. Encryption for private tags will use [NIP-04 - Encrypted Direct Message](04.md) encryption, using the list author's private and public key for the shared secret. A distinct event kind should be used for each list type created.
If a list type should only be defined once per user (like the 'Mute' list), the list type's events should follow the specification for [NIP-16 - Replaceable Events](16.md). These lists may be referred to as 'replaceable lists'.
Otherwise, the list type's events should follow the specification for [NIP-33 - Parameterized Replaceable Events](33.md), where the list name will be used as the 'd' parameter. These lists may be referred to as 'parameterized replaceable lists'.
If a list should only be defined once per user (like the "mute" list) the list is declared as a _replaceable event_. These lists may be referred to as "replaceable lists".

======
Calendar Events
---------------
`draft` `optional`
This specification defines calendar events representing an occurrence at a specific moment or between moments. These calendar events are _parameterized replaceable_ and deletable per [NIP-09](09.md).
Unlike the term `calendar event` specific to this NIP, the term `event` is used broadly in all the NIPs to describe any Nostr event. The distinction is being made here to discern between the two terms.
## Calendar Events
There are two types of calendar events represented by different kinds: date-based and time-based calendar events. Calendar events are not required to be part of a [calendar](#calendar).
### Date-Based Calendar Event
This kind of calendar event starts on a date and ends before a different date in the future. Its use is appropriate for all-day or multi-day events where time and time zone hold no significance. e.g., anniversary, public holidays, vacation days.
#### Format
The format uses a parameterized replaceable event kind `31922`.
The `.content` of these events is optional and should be a detailed description of the calendar event.
The list of tags are as follows:
* `d` (required) universally unique identifier (UUID). Generated by the client creating the calendar event.
* `name` (required) name of the calendar event
* `start` (required) inclusive start date in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). Must be less than `end`, if it exists.
* `end` (optional) exclusive end date in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). If omitted, the calendar event ends on the same date as `start`.
* `location` (optional) location of the calendar event. e.g. address, GPS coordinates, meeting room name, link to video call
* `g` (optional) [geohash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash) to associate calendar event with a searchable physical location
* `p` (optional, repeated) 32-bytes hex pubkey of a participant, optional recommended relay URL, and participant's role in the meeting
* `t` (optional, repeated) hashtag to categorize calendar event
* `r` (optional, repeated) references / links to web pages, documents, video calls, recorded videos, etc.
```json
{
"id": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded SHA-256 of the the serialized event data>,
"pubkey": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
"created_at": <Unix timestamp in seconds>,
"kind": 31922,
"content": "<description of calendar event>",
"tags": [

// Hashtags
["t", "<tag>"],
["t", "<tag>"],
// Reference links
["r", "<url>"],
["r", "<url>"]
]
}
```
### Time-Based Calendar Event
This kind of calendar event spans between a start time and end time.
#### Format
The format uses a parameterized replaceable event kind `31923`.
The `.content` of these events is optional and should be a detailed description of the calendar event.
The list of tags are as follows:
* `d` (required) universally unique identifier (UUID). Generated by the client creating the calendar event.
* `name` (required) name of the calendar event
* `start` (required) inclusive start Unix timestamp in seconds. Must be less than `end`, if it exists.
* `end` (optional) exclusive end Unix timestamp in seconds. If omitted, the calendar event ends instantaneously.
* `start_tzid` (optional) time zone of the start timestamp, as defined by the IANA Time Zone Database. e.g., `America/Costa_Rica`
* `end_tzid` (optional) time zone of the end timestamp, as defined by the IANA Time Zone Database. e.g., `America/Costa_Rica`. If omitted and `start_tzid` is provided, the time zone of the end timestamp is the same as the start timestamp.
* `location` (optional) location of the calendar event. e.g. address, GPS coordinates, meeting room name, link to video call
* `g` (optional) [geohash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash) to associate calendar event with a searchable physical location
* `p` (optional, repeated) 32-bytes hex pubkey of a participant, optional recommended relay URL, and participant's role in the meeting
* `t` (optional, repeated) hashtag to categorize calendar event
* `r` (optional, repeated) references / links to web pages, documents, video calls, recorded videos, etc.
```json
{
"id": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded SHA-256 of the the serialized event data>,
"pubkey": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
"created_at": <Unix timestamp in seconds>,

["t", "<tag>"],
// Reference links
["r", "<url>"],

]
}
```
## Calendar
A calendar is a collection of calendar events, represented as a custom replaceable list event using kind `31924`. A user can have multiple calendars. One may create a calendar to segment calendar events for specific purposes. e.g., personal, work, travel, meetups, and conferences.
### Format
The format uses a custom replaceable list of kind `31924` with a list of tags as described below:
* `d` (required) calendar name
* `a` (repeated) reference tag to kind `31922` or `31923` calendar event being responded to
```json
{
"kind": 31924,
"tags": [
["d", "<calendar name>"],
["a", "<31922 or 31923>:<calendar event author pubkey>:<d-identifier of calendar event>", "<optional relay url>"],
["a", "<31922 or 31923>:<calendar event author pubkey>:<d-identifier of calendar event>", "<optional relay url>"]
]
}
```
## Calendar Event RSVP
A calendar event RSVP is a response to a calendar event to indicate a user's attendance intention.
If a calendar event tags a pubkey, that can be interpreted as the calendar event creator inviting that user to attend. Clients MAY choose to prompt the user to RSVP for the calendar event.
Any user may RSVP, even if they were not tagged on the calendar event. Clients MAY choose to prompt the calendar event creator to invite the user who RSVP'd. Clients also MAY choose to ignore these RSVPs.
This NIP is intentionally not defining who is authorized to attend a calendar event if the user who RSVP'd has not been tagged. It is up to the calendar event creator to determine the semantics.
This NIP is also intentionally not defining what happens if a calendar event changes after an RSVP is submitted.
### Format
The format uses a parameterized replaceable event kind `31925`.
The `.content` of these events is optional and should be a free-form note that adds more context to this calendar event response.
The list of tags are as follows:
* `a` (required) reference tag to kind `31922` or `31923` calendar event being responded to.
* `d` (required) universally unique identifier. Generated by the client creating the calendar event RSVP.
* `L` (required) label namespace of `status` per [NIP-32](32.md)
* `l` (required) label of `accepted`, `declined`, or `tentative` under the label namespace of `status` per [NIP-32](32.md). Determines attendance status to the referenced calendar event.
* `L` (optional) label namespace of `freebusy` per [NIP-32](32.md). Exists if and only if corresponding `l` tag under the same label namespace exists.
* `l` (optional) label of `free` or `busy` under the label namespace of `freebusy` per [NIP-32](32.md). Determines if the user would be free or busy for the duration of the calendar event. This tag must be omitted or ignored if the `status` label is set to `declined`. Exists if and only if corresponding `l` tag under the same label namespace exists.
```json
{
"id": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded SHA-256 of the the serialized event data>,
"pubkey": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
"created_at": <Unix timestamp in seconds>,
"kind": 31925,
"content": "<note>",
"tags": [
["a", "<31922 or 31923>:<calendar event author pubkey>:<d-identifier of calendar event>", "<optional relay url>"],
["d", "<UUID>"],
["L", "status"],
["l", "<accepted/declined/tentative>", "status"],
["L", "freebusy"],
["l", "<free/busy>", "freebusy"]
]
}
```
## Unsolved Limitations
* No private events
## Intentionally Unsupported Scenarios
### Recurring Calendar Events
Recurring calendar events come with a lot of complexity, making it difficult for software and humans to deal with. This complexity includes time zone differences between invitees, daylight savings, leap years, multiple calendar systems, one-off changes in schedule or other metadata, etc.
This NIP intentionally omits support for recurring calendar events and pushes that complexity up to clients to manually implement if they desire. i.e., individual calendar events with duplicated metadata represent recurring calendar events.

Live Activities
---------------
`draft` `optional`
Service providers want to offer live activities to the Nostr network in such a way that participants can easily logged and queried by clients. This NIP describes a general framework to advertise the involvement of pubkeys in such live activities.
## Concepts
### Live Event
A special event with `kind:30311` "Live Event" is defined as a _parameterized replaceable event_ of public `p` tags. Each `p` tag SHOULD have a **displayable** marker name for the current role (e.g. `Host`, `Speaker`, `Participant`) of the user in the event and the relay information MAY be empty. This event will be constantly updated as participants join and leave the activity.
For example:
```json
{
"kind": 30311,
"tags": [
["d", "<unique identifier>"],
["title", "<name of the event>"],
["summary", "<description>"],
["image", "<preview image url>"],
["t", "hashtag"]
["streaming", "<url>"],
["recording", "<url>"], // used to place the edited video once the activity is over
["starts", "<unix timestamp in seconds>"],
["ends", "<unix timestamp in seconds>"],
["status", "<planned, live, ended>"],
["current_participants", "<number>"],
["total_participants", "<number>"],
["p", "91cf9..4e5ca", "wss://provider1.com/", "Host", "<proof>"],
["p", "14aeb..8dad4", "wss://provider2.com/nostr", "Speaker"],
["p", "612ae..e610f", "ws://provider3.com/ws", "Participant"],
["relays", "wss://one.com", "wss://two.com", ...]
],
"content": "",
...
}
```
A distinct `d` tag should be used for each activity. All other tags are optional.
Providers SHOULD keep the participant list small (e.g. under 1000 users) and, when limits are reached, Providers SHOULD select which participants get named in the event. Clients should not expect a comprehensive list. Once the activity ends, the event can be deleted or updated to summarize the activity and provide async content (e.g. recording of the event).
Clients are expected to subscribe to `kind:30311` events in general or for given follow lists and statuses. Clients MAY display participants' roles in activities as well as access points to join the activity.
Live Activity management clients are expected to constantly update `kind:30311` during the event. Clients MAY choose to consider `status=live` events after 1hr without any update as `ended`. The `starts` and `ends` timestamp SHOULD be updated when the status changes to and from `live`
The activity MUST be linked to using the [NIP-19](19.md) `naddr` code along with the `a` tag.
### Proof of Agreement to Participate
Event owners can add proof as the 5th term in each `p` tag to clarify the participant's agreement in joining the event. The proof is a signed SHA256 of the complete `a` Tag of the event (`kind:pubkey:dTag`) by each `p`'s private key, encoded in hex.
Clients MAY only display participants if the proof is available or MAY display participants as "invited" if the proof is not available.
This feature is important to avoid malicious event owners adding large account holders to the event, without their knowledge, to lure their followers into the malicious owner's trap.
### Live Chat Message
Event `kind:1311` is live chat's channel message. Clients MUST include the `a` tag of the activity with a `root` marker. Other Kind-1 tags such as `reply` and `mention` can also be used.
```json
{
"kind": 1311,
"tags": [
["a", "30311:<Community event author pubkey>:<d-identifier of the community>", "<Optional relay url>", "root"],
],
"content": "Zaps to live streams is beautiful.",
...
}
```
## Use Cases
Common use cases include meeting rooms/workshops, watch-together activities, or event spaces, such as [live.snort.social](https://live.snort.social) and [nostrnests.com](https://nostrnests.com).

### Appendix G: `zap` tag on zapped event
### Appendix G: `zap` tag on other events
When an event includes a `zap` tag, clients SHOULD calculate the lnurl pay request based on its value instead of the profile's field. An optional third argument on the tag specifies the type of value, either `lud06` or `lud16`.
When an event includes one or more `zap` tags, clients wishing to zap it SHOULD calculate the lnurl pay request based on the tags value instead of the event author's profile field. The tag's second argument is the `hex` string of the receiver's pub key and the third argument is the relay to download the receiver's metadata (Kind-0). An optional fourth parameter specifies the weight (a generalization of a percentage) assigned to the respective receiver. Clients should parse all weights, calculate a sum, and then a percentage to each receiver. If weights are not present, CLIENTS should equally divide the zap amount to all receivers. If weights are only partially present, receivers without a weight should not be zapped (`weight = 0`).
```json
```js
{
"tags": [
[ "zap", "pablo@f7z.io", "lud16" ]
[ "zap", "82341f882b6eabcd2ba7f1ef90aad961cf074af15b9ef44a09f9d2a8fbfbe6a2", "wss://nostr.oxtr.dev", "1" ], // 25%

]
}
```
Clients MAY display the zap split configuration in the note.
## Future Work
Zaps can be extended to be more private by encrypting `zap request` notes to the target user, but for simplicity it has been left out of this initial draft.

Three special events are used to define, award and display badges in
user profiles:
1. A "Badge Definition" event is defined as a parameterized replaceable event
with kind `30009` having a `d` tag with a value that uniquely identifies
the badge (e.g. `bravery`) published by the badge issuer. Badge definitions can
be updated.

2. A "Badge Award" event is a kind `8` event with a single `a` tag referencing
a "Define Badge" event and one or more `p` tags, one for each pubkey the
badge issuer wishes to award. The value for the `a` tag MUST follow the format
defined in [NIP-33](33.md). Awarded badges are immutable and non-transferrable.

Relay List Metadata
-------------------
`draft` `optional` `author:mikedilger`
`draft` `optional`
A special replaceable event meaning "Relay List Metadata" is defined as an event with kind `10002` having a list of `r` tags, one for each relay the author uses to either read or write to.
Defines a replaceable event using `kind:10002` to advertise preferred relays for discovering a user's content and receiving fresh content from others.
The primary purpose of this relay list is to advertise to others, not for configuring one's client.
The event MUST include a list of `r` tags with relay URIs and a `read` or `write` marker. Relays marked as `read` / `write` are called READ / WRITE relays, respectively. If the marker is omitted, the relay is used for both purposes.
The content is not used and SHOULD be an empty string.
The `r` tags can have a second parameter as either `read` or `write`. If it is omitted, it means the author uses the relay for both purposes.
Clients SHOULD, as with all replaceable events, use only the most recent kind-10002 event they can find.
### The meaning of read and write
Write relays are for events that are intended for anybody (e.g. your followers). Read relays are for events that address a particular person.
Clients SHOULD write feed-related events created by their user to their user's write relays.
Clients SHOULD read feed-related events created by another from at least some of that other person's write relays. Explicitly, they SHOULD NOT expect them to be available at their user's read relays. It SHOULD NOT be presumed that the user's read relays coincide with the write relays of the people the user follows.
Clients SHOULD read events that tag their user from their user's read relays.
Clients SHOULD write events that tag a person to at least some of that person's read relays. Explicitly, they SHOULD NOT expect that person will pick them up from their user's write relays. It SHOULD NOT be presumed that the user's write relays coincide with the read relays of the person being tagged.
Clients SHOULD presume that if their user has a pubkey in their ContactList (kind 3) that it is because they wish to see that author's feed-related events. But clients MAY presume otherwise.
### Motivation
There is a common nostr use case where users wish to follow the content produced by other users. This is evidenced by the implicit meaning of the Contact List in [NIP-02](02.md)
Because users don't often share the same sets of relays, ad-hoc solutions have arisen to get that content, but these solutions negatively impact scalability and decentralization:
- Most people are sending their posts to the same most popular relays in order to be more widely seen
- Many people are pulling from a large number of relays (including many duplicate events) in order to get more data
- Events are being copied between relays, oftentimes to many different relays
### Purposes
The purpose of this NIP is to help clients find the events of the people they follow, to help tagged events get to the people tagged, and to help nostr scale better.
### Suggestions
It is suggested that people spread their kind `10002` events to many relays, but write their normal feed-related events to a much smaller number of relays (between 2 to 6 relays). It is suggested that clients offer a way for users to spread their kind `10002` events to many more relays than they normally post to.
Authors may post events outside of the feed that they wish their followers to follow by posting them to relays outside of those listed in their "Relay List Metadata". For example, an author may want to reply to someone without all of their followers watching.
It is suggested that relays allow any user to write their own kind `10002` event (optionally with AUTH to verify it is their own) even if they are not otherwise subscribed to the relay because
- finding where someone posts is rather important
- these events do not have content that needs management
- relays only need to store one replaceable event per pubkey to offer this service
### Why not in kind `0` Metadata
Even though this is user related metadata, it is a separate event from kind `0` in order to keep it small (as it should be widely spread) and to not have content that may require moderation by relay operators so that it is more acceptable to relays.
### Example
The `.content` is not used.
```json
{
@ -73,4 +23,42 @@ Even though this is user related metadata, it is a separate event from kind `0`
],
"content": "",
...other fields
}
```
This NIP doesn't fully replace relay lists that are designed to configure a client's usage of relays (such as `kind:3` style relay lists). Clients MAY use other relay lists in situations where a `kind:10002` relay list cannot be found.
## When to Use Read and Write Relays
When seeking events **from** a user, Clients SHOULD use the WRITE relays of the user's `kind:10002`.
When seeking events **about** a user, where the user was tagged, Clients SHOULD use the READ relays of the user's `kind:10002`.
When broadcasting an event, Clients SHOULD:
- Broadcast the event to the WRITE relays of the author
- Broadcast the event all READ relays of each tagged user
## Motivation
The old model of using a fixed relay list per user centralizes in large relay operators:
- Most users submit their posts to the same highly popular relays, aiming to achieve greater visibility among a broader audience
- Many users are pulling events from a large number of relays in order to get more data at the expense of duplication
- Events are being copied between relays, oftentimes to many different relays
This NIP allows Clients to connect directly with the most up-to-date relay set from each individual user, eliminating the need of broadcasting events to popular relays.
## Final Considerations
1. Clients SHOULD guide users to keep `kind:10002` lists small (2-4 relays).
2. Clients SHOULD spread an author's `kind:10002` event to as many relays as viable.
3. `kind:10002` events should primarily be used to advertise the user's preferred relays to others. A user's own client may use other heuristics for selecting relays for fetching data.
4. DMs SHOULD only be broadcasted to the author's WRITE relays and to the receiver's READ relays to keep maximum privacy.
5. If a relay signals support for this NIP in their [NIP-11](11.md) document that means they're willing to accept kind 10002 events from a broad range of users, not only their paying customers or whitelisted group.
6. Clients SHOULD deduplicate connections by normalizing relay URIs according to [RFC 3986](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-6).

Moderated Communities (Reddit Style)
------------------------------------
`draft` `optional`
The goal of this NIP is to create moderator-approved public communities around a topic. It defines the replaceable event `kind:34550` to define the community and the current list of moderators/administrators. Users that want to post into the community, simply tag any Nostr event with the community's `a` tag. Moderators issue an approval event `kind:4550` that links the community with the new post.
# Community Definition
`kind:34550` SHOULD include any field that helps define the community and the set of moderators. `relay` tags MAY be used to describe the preferred relay to download requests and approvals.
```json
{
"created_at": <Unix timestamp in seconds>,
"kind": 34550,
"tags": [
["d", "<community-d-identifier>"],
["description", "<Community description>"],
["image", "<Community image url>", "<Width>x<Height>"],
//.. other tags relevant to defining the community
// moderators
["p", "<32-bytes hex of a pubkey1>", "<optional recommended relay URL>", "moderator"],
["p", "<32-bytes hex of a pubkey2>", "<optional recommended relay URL>", "moderator"],
["p", "<32-bytes hex of a pubkey3>", "<optional recommended relay URL>", "moderator"],
// relays used by the community (w/optional marker)
["relay", "<relay hosting author kind 0>", "author"],
["relay", "<relay where to send and receive requests>", "requests"],
["relay", "<relay where to send and receive approvals>", "approvals"],
["relay", "<relay where to post requests to and fetch approvals from>"]
],
...
}
```
# New Post Request
Any Nostr event can be submitted to a community by anyone for approval. Clients MUST add the community's `a` tag to the new post event in order to be presented for the moderator's approval.
```json
{
"kind": 1,
"tags": [
["a", "34550:<community event author pubkey>:<community-d-identifier>", "<optional-relay-url>"],
],
"content": "hello world",
...
}
```
Community management clients MAY filter all mentions to a given `kind:34550` event and request moderators to approve each submission. Moderators MAY delete his/her approval of a post at any time using event deletions (See [NIP-09](09.md)).
# Post Approval by moderators
The post-approval event MUST include `a` tags of the communities the moderator is posting into (one or more), the `e` tag of the post and `p` tag of the author of the post (for approval notifications). The event SHOULD also include the stringified `post request` event inside the `.content` ([NIP-18-style](18.md)) and a `k` tag with the original post's event kind to allow filtering of approved posts by kind.
```json
{
"pubkey": "<32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded public key of the event creator>",
"kind": 4550,
"tags": [
["a", "34550:<event-author-pubkey>:<community-d-identifier>", "<optional-relay-url>"],
["e", "<post-id>", "<optional-relay-url>"],
["p", "<port-author-pubkey>", "<optional-relay-url>"],
["k", "<post-request-kind>"]
],
"content": "<the full approved event, JSON-encoded>",
...
}
```
It's recommended that multiple moderators approve posts to avoid deleting them from the community when a moderator is removed from the owner's list. In case the full list of moderators must be rotated, the new moderator set must sign new approvals for posts in the past or the community will restart. The owner can also periodically copy and re-sign of each moderator's approval events to make sure posts don't disappear with moderators.
Post Approvals of replaceable events can be created in three ways: (i) by tagging the replaceable event as an `e` tag if moderators want to approve each individual change to the repleceable event; (ii) by tagging the replaceable event as an `a` tag if the moderator authorizes the replaceable event author to make changes without additional approvals and (iii) by tagging the replaceable event with both its `e` and `a` tag which empowers clients to display the original and updated versions of the event, with appropriate remarks in the UI. Since relays are instructed to delete old versions of a replaceable event, the `.content` of an `e`-approval MUST have the specific version of the event or Clients might not be able to find that version of the content anywhere.
Clients SHOULD evaluate any non-`34550:*` `a` tag as posts to be included in all `34550:*` `a` tags.
# Displaying
Community clients SHOULD display posts that have been approved by at least 1 moderator or by the community owner.
The following filter displays the approved posts.
```json
[
"REQ",
"_",
{
"authors": ["<owner-pubkey>", "<moderator1-pubkey>", "<moderator2-pubkey>", "<moderator3-pubkey>", ...],
"kinds": [4550],
"#a": ["34550:<Community event author pubkey>:<d-identifier of the community>"],
}
]
```
Clients MAY hide approvals by blocked moderators at the user's request.

Zap Goals
---------
`draft` `optional`
This NIP defines an event for creating fundraising goals. Users can contribute funds towards the goal by zapping the goal event.
## Nostr Event
A `kind:9041` event is used.
The `.content` contains a human-readable description of the goal.
The following tags are defined as REQUIRED.
- `amount` - target amount in milisats.
- `relays` - a list of relays the zaps to this goal will be sent to and tallied from.
Example event:
```json
{
"kind": 9041,
"tags": [
["relays", "wss://alicerelay.example.com", "wss://bobrelay.example.com", ...],
["amount", "210000"],
],
"content": "Nostrasia travel expenses",
...
```
The following tags are OPTIONAL.
- `closed_at` - timestamp for determining which zaps are included in the tally. Zap receipts published after the `closed_at` timestamp SHOULD NOT count towards the goal progress.
```json
{
"kind": 9041,
"tags": [
["relays", "wss://alicerelay.example.com", "wss://bobrelay.example.com", ...],
["amount", "210000"],
["closed_at", "<unix timestamp in seconds>"],
],
"content": "Nostrasia travel expenses",
...
}
```
The goal MAY include an `r` or `a` tag linking to a URL or parameterized replaceable event.
The goal MAY include multiple beneficiary pubkeys by specifying [`zap` tags](57.md#appendix-g-zap-tag-on-other-events).
Parameterized replaceable events can link to a goal by using a `goal` tag specifying the event id and an optional relay hint.
```json
{
...
"kind": 3xxxx,
"tags": [
...
["goal", "<event id>", "<Relay URL (optional)>"],
],
...
}
```
## Client behavior
Clients MAY display funding goals on user profiles.
When zapping a goal event, clients MUST include the relays in the `relays` tag of the goal event in the zap request `relays` tag.
When zapping a parameterized replaceable event with a `goal` tag, clients SHOULD tag the goal event id in the `e` tag of the zap request.
## Use cases
- Fundraising clients
- Adding funding goals to events such as long form posts, badges or live streams

Highlights
----------
`draft` `optional`
This NIP defines `kind:9802`, a "highlight" event, to signal content a user finds valuable.
## Format
The `.content` of these events is the highlighted portion of the text.
`.content` might be empty for highlights of non-text based media (e.g. NIP-94 audio/video).
### References
Events SHOULD tag the source of the highlight, whether nostr-native or not.
`a` or `e` tags should be used for nostr events and `r` tags for URLs.
When tagging a URL, clients generating these events SHOULD do a best effort of cleaning the URL from trackers
or obvious non-useful information from the query string.
### Attribution
Clients MAY include one or more `p` tags, tagging the original authors of the material being highlighted; this is particularly
useful when highlighting non-nostr content for which the client might be able to get a nostr pubkey somehow
(e.g. prompting the user or reading a `<meta name="nostr:nprofile1..." />` tag on the document). A role MAY be included as the
last value of the tag.
```json
{
"tags": [
["p", "<pubkey-hex>", "<relay-url>", "author"],
["p", "<pubkey-hex>", "<relay-url>", "author"],
["p", "<pubkey-hex>", "<relay-url>", "editor"]
],
...
}
```
### Context
Clients MAY include a `context` tag, useful when the highlight is a subset of a paragraph and displaying the
surrounding content might be beneficial to give context to the highlight.

* `k` tags' value is the event kind that is supported by this `kind:31990`.
Using a `k` tag(s) (instead of having the kind onf the NIP-33 `d` tag) provides:
* Multiple `k` tags can exist in the same event if the application supports more than one event kind and their handler URLs are the same.
* The same pubkey can have multiple events with different apps that handle the same event kind.
* `bech32` in a URL MUST be replaced by clients with the NIP-19-encoded entity that should be loaded by the application.
Multiple tags might be registered by the app, following NIP-19 nomenclature as the second value of the array.
A tag without a second value in the array SHOULD be considered a generic handler for any NIP-19 entity that is not handled by a different tag.
# User flow
## Client tag
When publishing events, clients MAY include a `client` tag in the same format as the recommendation event's `a` tags. This has privacy implications for users, so clients SHOULD allow users to opt-out of using this tag.

## User flow
A user A who uses a non-`kind:1`-centric nostr app could choose to announce/recommend a certain kind-handler application.
When user B sees an unknown event kind, e.g. in a social-media centric nostr client, the client would allow user B to interact with the unknown-kind event (e.g. tapping on it).
The client MIGHT query for the user's and the user's follows handler.

======
Data Vending Machine
--------------------
`draft` `optional`
This NIP defines the interaction between customers and Service Providers for performing on-demand computation.
Money in, data out.
## Kinds
This NIP reserves the range `5000-7000` for data vending machine use.
| Kind | Description |
| ---- | ----------- |
| 5000-5999 | Job request kinds |
| 6000-6999 | Job result |
| 7000 | Job feedback |
Job results always use a kind number that is `1000` higher than the job request kind. (e.g. request: `kind:5001` gets a result: `kind:6001`).
Job request types are defined [separately](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/data-vending-machines/tree/master/kinds).
## Rationale
Nostr can act as a marketplace for data processing, where users request jobs to be processed in certain ways (e.g., "speech-to-text", "summarization", etc.), but they don't necessarily care about "who" processes the data.
This NIP is not to be confused with a 1:1 marketplace; instead, it describes a flow where a user announces a desired output, willingness to pay, and service providers compete to fulfill the job requirement in the best way possible.
### Actors
There are two actors in the workflow described in this NIP:
* Customers (npubs who request a job)
* Service providers (npubs who fulfill jobs)
## Job request (`kind:5000-5999`)
A request to process data, published by a customer. This event signals that an customer is interested in receiving the result of some kind of compute.
```json
{
"kind": 5xxx, // kind in 5000-5999 range
"content": "",
"tags": [
[ "i", "<data>", "<input-type>", "<relay>", "<marker>" ],
[ "output", "<mime-type>" ],
[ "relays", "wss://..." ],
[ "bid", "<msat-amount>" ],
[ "t", "bitcoin" ]
]
}
```
All tags are optional.
* `i` tag: Input data for the job (zero or more inputs)
* `<data>`: The argument for the input
* `<input-type>`: The way this argument should be interpreted. MUST be one of:
* `url`: A URL to be fetched of the data that should be processed.
* `event`: A Nostr event ID.
* `job`: The output of a previous job with the specified event ID. The dermination of which output to build upon is up to the service provider to decide (e.g. waiting for a signaling from the customer, waiting for a payment, etc.)
* `text`: `<data>` is the value of the input, no resolution is needed
* `<relay>`: If `event` or `job` input-type, the relay where the event/job was published, otherwise optional or empty string
* `<marker>`: An optional field indicating how this input should be used within the context of the job
* `output`: Expected output format. Different job request `kind` defines this more precisely.
* `param`: Optional parameters for the job as key (first argument)/value (second argument). Different job request `kind` defines this more precisely. (e.g. `[ "param", "lang", "es" ]`)
* `bid`: Customer MAY specify a maximum amount (in millisats) they are willing to pay
* `relays`: List of relays where Service Providers SHOULD publish responses to
* `p`: Service Providers the customer is interested in. Other SPs MIGHT still choose to process the job
## Encrypted Params
If the user wants to keep the input parameters a secret, they can encrypt the `i` and `param` tags with the service provider's 'p' tag and add it to the content field. Add a tag `encrypted` as tags. Encryption for private tags will use [NIP-04 - Encrypted Direct Message encryption](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md), using the user's private and service provider's public key for the shared secret
```json
[
["i", "what is the capital of France? ", "text"],
["param", "model", "LLaMA-2"],
["param", "max_tokens", "512"],
["param", "temperature", "0.5"],
["param", "top-k", "50"],
["param", "top-p", "0.7"],
["param", "frequency_penalty", "1"]
]
```
This param data will be encrypted and added to the `content` field and `p` tag should be present
```json
{
"content": "BE2Y4xvS6HIY7TozIgbEl3sAHkdZoXyLRRkZv4fLPh3R7LtviLKAJM5qpkC7D6VtMbgIt4iNcMpLtpo...",
"tags": [
["p", "04f74530a6ede6b24731b976b8e78fb449ea61f40ff10e3d869a3030c4edc91f"],
["encrypted"]
],
...
}
```
## Job result (`kind:6000-6999`)
Service providers publish job results, providing the output of the job result. They should tag the original job request event id as well as the customer's pubkey.
```json
{
"pubkey": "<service-provider pubkey>",
"content": "<payload>",
"kind": 6xxx,
"tags": [
["request", "<job-request>"],
["e", "<job-request-id>", "<relay-hint>"],
["i", "<input-data>"],
["p", "<customer's-pubkey>"],
["amount", "requested-payment-amount", "<optional-bolt11>"]
],
...
}
```
* `request`: The job request event stringified-JSON.
* `amount`: millisats that the Service Provider is requesting to be paid. An optional third value can be a bolt11 invoice.
* `i`: The original input(s) specified in the request.
## Encrypted Output
If the request has encrypted params, then output should be encrypted and placed in `content` field. If the output is encrypted, then avoid including `i` tag with input-data as clear text.
Add a tag encrypted to mark the output content as `encrypted`
```json
{
"pubkey": "<service-provider pubkey>",
"content": "<encrypted payload>",
"kind": 6xxx,
"tags": [
["request", "<job-request>"],
["e", "<job-request-id>", "<relay-hint>"],
["p", "<customer's-pubkey>"],
["amount", "requested-payment-amount", "<optional-bolt11>"],
["encrypted"]
],
...
}
```
## Job feedback
Service providers can give feedback about a job back to the customer.
```json
{
"kind": 7000,
"content": "<empty-or-payload>",
"tags": [
["status", "<status>", "<extra-info>"],
["amount", "requested-payment-amount", "<bolt11>"],
["e", "<job-request-id>", "<relay-hint>"],
["p", "<customer's-pubkey>"],
],
...
}
```
* `content`: Either empty or a job-result (e.g. for partial-result samples)
* `amount` tag: as defined in the [Job Result](#job-result) section.
* `status` tag: Service Providers SHOULD indicate what this feedback status refers to. [Appendix 1](#appendix-1-job-feedback-status) defines status. Extra human-readable information can be added as an extra argument.
* NOTE: If the input params requires input to be encrypted, then `content` field will have encrypted payload with `p` tag as key.
### Job feedback status
| status | description |
| -------- | ------------- |
| `payment-required` | Service Provider requires payment before continuing. |
| `processing` | Service Provider is processing the job. |
| `error` | Service Provider was unable to process the job. |
| `success` | Service Provider successfully processed the job. |
| `partial` | Service Provider partially processed the job. The `.content` might include a sample of the partial results. |
Any job feedback event MIGHT include results in the `.content` field, as described in the [Job Result](#job-result) section. This is useful for service providers to provide a sample of the results that have been processed so far.
# Protocol Flow
* Customer publishes a job request (e.g. `kind:5000` speech-to-text).
* Service Providers MAY submit `kind:7000` job-feedback events (e.g. `payment-required`, `processing`, `error`, etc.).
* Upon completion, the service provider publishes the result of the job with a `kind:6000` job-result event.
* At any point, if there is an `amount` pending to be paid as instructed by the service provider, the user can pay the included `bolt11` or zap the job result event the service provider has sent to the user
Job feedback (`kind:7000`) and Job Results (`kind:6000-6999`) events MAY include an `amount` tag, this can be interpreted as a suggestion to pay. Service Providers MUST use the `payment-required` feedback event to signal that a payment is required and no further actions will be performed until the payment is sent.
Customers can always either pay the included `bolt11` invoice or zap the event requesting the payment and service providers should monitor for both if they choose to include a bolt11 invoice.
## Notes about the protocol flow
The flow is deliberately ambiguous, allowing vast flexibility for the interaction between customers and service providers so that service providers can model their behavior based on their own decisions/perceptions of risk.
Some service providers might choose to submit a `payment-required` as the first reaction before sending a `processing` or before delivering results, some might choose to serve partial results for the job (e.g. a sample), send a `payment-required` to deliver the rest of the results, and some service providers might choose to assess likelihood of payment based on an npub's past behavior and thus serve the job results before requesting payment for the best possible UX.
It's not up to this NIP to define how individual vending machines should choose to run their business.
# Cancellation
A job request might be cancelled by publishing a `kind:5` delete request event tagging the job request event.
# Appendix 1: Job chaining
A Customer MAY request multiple jobs to be processed as a chain, where the output of a job is the input of another job. (e.g. podcast transcription -> summarization of the transcription). This is done by specifying as input an event id of a different job with the `job` type.
Service Providers MAY begin processing a subsequent job the moment they see the prior job's result, but they will likely wait for a zap to be published first. This introduces a risk that Service Provider of job #1 might delay publishing the zap event in order to have an advantage. This risk is up to Service Providers to mitigate or to decide whether the service provider of job #1 tends to have good-enough results so as to not wait for an explicit zap to assume the job was accepted.
This gives a higher level of flexibility to service providers (which sophisticated service providers would take anyway).
# Appendix 2: Service provider discoverability
Service Providers MAY use NIP-89 announcements to advertise their support for job kinds:
```js
{
"kind": 31990,
"pubkey": "<pubkey>",
"content": "{
\"name\": \"Translating DVM\",
\"about\": \"I'm a DVM specialized in translating Bitcoin content.\"
}",
"tags": [
["k", "5005"], // e.g. translation
["t", "bitcoin"] // e.g. optionally advertises it specializes in bitcoin audio transcription that won't confuse "Drivechains" with "Ridechains"
],
...
}
```
Customers can use NIP-89 to see what service providers their follows use.

Classified Listings
-------------------
`draft` `optional`
This NIP defines `kind:30402`: a parameterized replaceable event to describe classified listings that list any arbitrary product, service, or other thing for sale or offer and includes enough structured metadata to make them useful.
The category of classifieds includes a very broad range of physical goods, services, work opportunities, rentals, free giveaways, personals, etc. and is distinct from the more strictly structured marketplaces defined in [NIP-15](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/15.md) that often sell many units of specific products through very specific channels.
The structure of these events is very similar to [NIP-23](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/23.md) long-form content events.
### Draft / Inactive Listings
`kind:30403` has the same structure as `kind:30402` and is used to save draft or inactive classified listings.
### Content
The `.content` field should be a description of what is being offered and by whom. These events should be a string in Markdown syntax.
### Author
The `.pubkey` field of these events are treated as the party creating the listing.
### Metadata
- For "tags"/"hashtags" (i.e. categories or keywords of relevance for the listing) the `"t"` event tag should be used, as per [NIP-12](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/12.md).
- For images, whether included in the markdown content or not, clients SHOULD use `image` tags as described in [NIP-58](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/58.md). This allows clients to display images in carousel format more easily.
The following tags, used for structured metadata, are standardized and SHOULD be included. Other tags may be added as necessary.
- `"title"`, a title for the listing
- `"summary"`, for short tagline or summary for the listing
- `"published_at"`, for the timestamp (in unix seconds – converted to string) of the first time the listing was published.
- `"location"`, for the location.
- `"price"`, for the price of the thing being listed. This is an array in the format `[ "price", "<number>", "<currency>", "<frequency>" ]`.
- `"price"` is the name of the tag
- `"<number>"` is the amount in numeric format (but included in the tag as a string)
- `"<currency>"` is the currency unit in 3-character ISO 4217 format or ISO 4217-like currency code (e.g. `"btc"`, `"eth"`).
- `"<frequency>"` is optional and can be used to describe recurring payments. SHOULD be in noun format (hour, day, week, month, year, etc.)
#### `price` examples
- $50 one-time payment `["price", "50", "USD"]`
- €15 per month `["price", "15", "EUR", "month"]`
- £50,000 per year `["price", "50000", "GBP", "year"]`
Other standard tags that might be useful.
- `"g"`, a geohash for more precise location

4. There should be no more than one way of doing the same thing.
5. Other rules will be made up when necessary.
## Is this repository a centralizing factor?
To promote interoperability, we standards that everybody can follow, and we need them to define a **single way of doing each thing** without ever hurting **backwards-compatibility**, and for that purpose there is no way around getting everybody to agree on the same thing and keep a centralized index of these standards. However the fact that such index exists doesn't hurt the decentralization of Nostr. _At any point the central index can be challenged if it is failing to fulfill the needs of the protocol_ and it can migrate to other places and be maintained by other people.
It can even fork into multiple and then some clients would go one way, others would go another way, and some clients would adhere to both competing standards. This would hurt the simplicity, openness and interoperability of Nostr a little, but everything would still work in the short term.
There is a list of notable Nostr software developers who have commit access to this repository, but that exists mostly for practical reasons, as by the nature of the thing we're dealing with the repository owner can revoke membership and rewrite history as they want -- and if these actions are unjustified or perceived as bad or evil the community must react.
## How this repository works
Standards may emerge in two ways: the first way is that someone starts doing something, then others copy it; the second way is that someone has an idea of a new standard that could benefit multiple clients and the protocol in general without breaking **backwards-compatibility** and the principle of having **a single way of doing things**, then they write that idea and submit it to this repository, other interested parties read it and give their feedback, then once most people reasonably agree we codify that in a NIP which client and relay developers that are interested in the feature can proceed to implement.
These two ways of standardizing things are supported by this repository. Although the second is preferred, an effort will be made to codify standards emerged outside this repository into NIPs that can be later referenced and easily understood and implemented by others -- but obviously as in any human system discretion may be applied when standards are considered harmful.
