Nostr is the trust layer we’ve all been looking for. Quite simply, you can generate your own npub/nsec and use that as the starting basis for developing your trust relationships.

With an npub (really your nsec), you can sign: your notes and metadata; encrypt and decrypt your messages; and, pay and get paid (zaps and ecash).
