What is Nostr?
The open protocol behind the most interesting apps on the internet.
Here's why it matters.
🔥
Forget what you’ve heard
You don’t need to care about decentralization to love what’s being built on Nostr. You just need to try it. Games that run inside social feeds. Profiles you can theme like personal planets. An ecosystem of apps that all talk to each other – so you never lose your stuff.
Nostr stands for Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays. The “Other Stuff” is where things get interesting.
🎪
What makes it different
🎮
One identity, every app
Play a game, browse a marketplace, and scroll your feed – all knowing who you are. No new accounts, ever.
🎨
Way more than posts
Games inside your feed. Live streams. Collaborative lists. Things nobody has invented yet. This is the “Other Stuff.”
🔄
Nothing gets left behind
Find something better? Move. Your followers, posts, and history come with you automatically.
✨
This is what the internet was supposed to feel like. Not a handful of walled-off apps fighting for your attention -- a shared, open playground where anyone can build.

How it actually works
Now that you know what it feels like – here’s the simple machinery underneath.
