Nostr - Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays

Nostr is an inclusive communication commons. A simple standard that defines a scalable architecture of clients and servers that can be used to spread information freely. Not controlled by any corporation or government, anyone can build on Nostr and anyone can use it.

From ZK-first to AT Protocol — our path to DDS | Agora Citizen Network

We've been building Agora — a platform for public deliberation using Polis-style clustering — for a while now. Along the way, we've written about what we think about Nostr, AT Protocol, Polis, Community Notes, and protocol interoperability. Those posts are somewhat outdated now. This one describes w...

Public Ledger of Credentials: a cryptographic, strongly-consistent, and recoverable DID method

Keytrace takes ideas from Keybase and Keyoxide and brings them to the decentralized web.

Thoughts on "Nostr and ATProto" | bryan newbold (⛱️ sabbatical mode)

These are some quick notes on @shreyanjain.net's Nostr and ATProto write-up. Overall: omg this thing is a book. Lauditory! It is really great to see this discussed in depth and detail. I don't know whether to be embarassed that we didn't write up something like this much earlier, or proud that thin...

did:plc Specification v0.1

DID PLC is a self-authenticating DID which is strongly-consistent, recoverable, and allows for key rotation.

Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID refers to any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) as determined by the controller of the DID. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. Specifically, while other parties might be used to help enable the discovery of information related to a DID, the design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject.
