Arbitrary public custom app data

NIP-79#

Arbitrary public custom app data#

draft optional

This is defined as a specification that allows NIP-78 to be used without authentication.

These kinds are meant to be used as a generic interchange format for data that should be public or exchanged between different applications.

Nostr event#

This NIP specifies the use of event kinds 30079 (an addressable event) with a d tag containing some reference to the app name and context -- or any other arbitrary string. content and other tags can be anything or in any format.

It also defines the kind 79 (a normal event) for when the app needs to store and query multiple events of the same type. Apps should use some unique tag (even a d tag) for grouping these events together.

Some use cases#

• A game that uses Nostr. It features score rankings and allows users to share their locations with each other.
