W3C Nostr Community Group

Welcome to the home page of the W3C Nostr Community Group! Our mission is to foster collaboration, innovation, and standardization around the Nostr protocol, an open and decentralized messaging system for social applications. We are dedicated to supporting the development and adoption of Nostr across various platforms, devices, and use cases.

As a community-driven initiative, we encourage the participation of developers, users, and stakeholders who share our vision for a decentralized, user-centric social web.
