#Nostr is a decentralized, user-centric social media platform that aims to ensure freedom of expression, privacy, and user control of data.

- Nostr is a revolution in social networks, eliminating dependence on centralized servers.
- Uses a client-relay model, where users run clients and anyone can operate relays.
- The Nostr protocol guarantees tamper-proof communication through cryptographic keys and signatures.
- Users have full control over their identity, data, and audience on the platform.
- The platform supports anonymity and pseudonyms, and is available on the TOR network.
- Encourages development and customization by allowing anyone to develop clients, relays, tools, and applications.
- To get started, users can create an account, secure their keys, and choose one of the available apps.
- There are more than 80 applications built on Nostr, covering various areas such as microblogging, long-form, streaming, community and key management.
- The Nostr community started with a manifesto in 2019 and grew around the idea, resulting in a protocol used daily by real people.
- NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities) document what can be implemented by Nostr compatible software.
