 Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a decentralized communication protocol designed to avoid censorship and centralized control. It works with cryptographic keys: users have a private key to sign messages and a public key to receive them. Messages are shared through relays (servers) that transmit the information without controlling it.

Benefits:

	•	Minimal censorship: No central servers to block or delete content.
	•	Privacy: Users control their own keys and data.
	•	Decentralization: It doesn’t rely on any platform or company, making it more resistant to failures and manipulation.
