Build Decentralized Apps
with Nostr Protocol
Skip the centralized platforms. Build apps where users own their data, can't be deplatformed, and have true freedom of expression.
What You Can Build
Nostr enables a new generation of decentralized applications. Here's what developers are building.
Social Networks
Decentralized Twitter-like platforms where users own their data and can't be deplatformed.
- User-owned profiles
- Real-time messaging
- Censorship resistance
Chat Applications
End-to-end encrypted messaging apps that work across multiple clients and relays.
- Cross-platform messaging
- Group conversations
- No vendor lock-in
Content Platforms
Blogging, news, and media platforms where creators maintain full ownership of their content.
- Creator monetization
- Global distribution
- Portable audiences
...and So Much More
These are just the beginning. With Nostr's open protocol, developers are constantly pushing boundaries and creating innovative applications we never imagined possible.
Your Imagination is the Only Limit
Nostr protocol provides the foundation for any decentralized application you can dream of. From financial services to IoT networks, from data analytics to entertainment platforms – if it involves communication and data exchange, you can build it on Nostr.
