Welcome to Nostr.co.uk

Welcome to Nostr.co.uk, the UK’s dedicated resource for understanding and using the Nostr protocol.

Why Nostr Matters

Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) represents a fundamental shift in how we think about social networking. Unlike traditional platforms where your data and identity are controlled by a company, Nostr gives you true ownership of your online presence.

Key Benefits

You own your identity - Your cryptographic keys belong to you
No central control - No company can ban or silence you
Interoperability - Use any client you prefer, switch freely
Censorship resistance - Your content persists across multiple relays
Native payments - Send and receive Bitcoin tips instantly
