What is a NIP-05 Identifier?

NIPS or Nostr Implementation Possibilities are a list of Nostr protocol documents which provides the guidelines for Nostr clients. NIP-05 is one such protocol that describes associating your Nostr public key with an internet identifier that looks like an email address, to add a level of trust to your Nostr social profile. Having a NIP-05 ID provides you with the following benefits:

  • Get a trusted checkmark: Your Nostr social profile will display checkmark on Nostr clients. It looks just like the verified checkmark on Twitter.
  • Quickens finding your Nostr profile: Your profile will be searchable by name@orangepill.dev or one of our other amazing domains to select from.
  • Quickens mentioning or tagging users on Nostr social clients by using @name.
  • Directory lookup of other users on a particular NIP-05 identifier domain. Nostr clients may support this by searching @orangepill.dev to find list of our amazing users.
  • Could be used to fight spam on Nostr by whitelisting trusted NIP-05 domains on a private relay and by Nostr clients for filtering content.
