Nostr

Connect to the Nostr decentralized network so users can chat with your agents via any Nostr client.

​

Setup

1. Generate a Nostr keypair for your bot (or use an existing one)
2. In Pawz, go to Settings → Channels
3. Select Nostr
4. Enter:
   • Private key — bot’s nsec key
   • Relays — comma-separated relay URLs (e.g., wss://relay.damus.io,wss://nos.lol)
5. Start the channel

:::info Encrypted DM support The bridge supports NIP-04 encrypted DMs (kind-4 events) using ECDH + AES-256-CBC. This is compatible with all major Nostr clients (Damus, Amethyst, Primal, etc.). NIP-44 (the newer encryption standard with NIP-17 gift wrapping) is planned for a future release. :::

Tips

• Use multiple relays for reliability
• The bot’s public key (npub) is derived from the private key automatically
• Users can find your bot by its npub on any Nostr client
• Consider publishing a NIP-05 identifier for discoverability
