Nostr is a network protocol for building decentralized social networks. It is built on the secp256k1 curve and the WebSocket protocol.

A Nostr “account” is basically a key pair. Others in the network refer to your account by your public key. Everything you post has a signature attached to it, signed by your private key. Others validate everything you post.
