Hedge 324: NOSTR

November 6, 2026 · 55 min

Show notes

Social media services have largely become a marketplace designed to capture and hold your attention, rather than places where people share information and talk to one another. A large part of this is because they are hosted on large-scale platforms that must be paid for by large, centralized companies. NOSTR is taking a different direction, creating a protocol and system that can be hosted by anyone, anywhere, to build a social network. Wouter Constant joins Tom and Russ to explain what NOSTR is, and how it’s different.
