"nostr" stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays" and is an open protocol for censorship-resistant global networks created by @fiatjaf.

Protocol

Relays

Relays are (so far) application agnostic. You can run your own or use any or all of the public instances.

Implementations

  • NNostrstars - a C# relay
  • nostr-rs-relay - a minimalistic relay written in Rust that saves data on SQLite
  • Relayer Basic - a simple relay based on relayer backed by Postgres
  • nodestrstars - a Node.js implementation
  • sovereign-stack - a tool that helps you deploy nostr relays and create self-hosted (bitcoin-only) Value4Value websites.
  • expensive relaystars- a relay that requires payment for registration
  • me.untethr.nostr-relaystars - a relay written in Clojure
  • Minds Nostr Relay - a relay for Minds, an open-source social network
  • NostrPostr Relay - a Kotlin Relay supporting both SQLite and Postgresql
  • nostrpystars - relay, client, and other tooling in python
  • nostreamstars - a nostr relay written in Typescript backed by PostgreSQL (renamed from nostr-ts-relay)
  • nostr_relay – a nostr relay written in python, backed by SQLite
  • søstrstars – a private nostr relay written in rust, saves all notes from one pubkey and publish them to anyone that requests them
  • knostrstars – a nostr relay implemented in Kotlin with support for Postgres and metrics(micrometer).
  • PyRelaystars – a python implementation of a nostr relay, using asyncio.
  • strfrystars – C++ implementation backed by LMDB with efficient syncing of events using merkle trees
  • Astrostars– Elixir based implementation built to be performant and highly distributed.
