OpenSats Announced Sixth Wave of Nostr Grants
OpenSats, a non-profit focused on funding Bitcoin and freedom tech projects, has announced the sixth wave of Nostr grants.
In the sixth wave of Nostr grants, OpenSats awarded nine projects:
- Osty. "Osty is a free and open-source framework designed to streamline the development of web applications on the nostr protocol. It offers a comprehensive toolkit akin to Next.js but tailored for nostr, including UI components, widgets, NDK, and essential features like caching, routing, and state management."
- Seer. "Seer is an open-source application designed for group communication and management within nostr’s protocol using NIP-29. Built with Swift, Seer is optimized for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and potentially visionOS, providing a native user experience similar to Apple Mail."
- Alphaama. "Alphaama is an open-source nostr client that combines a command-line interface with a graphical user interface, offering a highly customizable and flexible platform. Designed as a research project into UI/UX possibilities, alphaama encourages users to explore and modify its codebase, promoting privacy and user empowerment by giving full control over how users interact with nostr."
- Corny Chat. "Corny Chat is an open-source audio spaces platform akin to Twitter Spaces or Clubhouse. It was forked from Jam Systems and extended to directly integrate with nostr. The project aims to provide a decentralized, privacy-respecting alternative for audio discussions, supporting features like NIP-07 logins, lightning payments, and customizable user profiles."
- Nostroots. "Nostroots is an initiative to migrate Trustroots.org—a social network with over 100,000 members—onto the nostr protocol."
- Yana. "Yana is a nostr client built on top of Dart NDK. It offers a fast, multi-platform experience, particularly optimized for older devices. It includes integrations with external apps for secure event signing, ensuring users retain control over their private keys."
- Dart NDK. "The author of Yana is also developing and maintaining Dart NDK, a nostr development kit written in Dart which is designed to enhance the decentralization of nostr by providing components for relay connectivity, caching, and high performance through native implementations of performance-critical components in C and Rust. It supports the outbox model for improved data discovery without reliance on central coordination."
- Jester. "Jester is a chess implementation that uses nostr to communicate the player's moves. It is similar to Lichess, but integrates bitcoin microtransactions and thus allows players to earn sats and zap others during chess games."
- Nostr Spring Boot Starter. "The Nostr Spring Boot Starter project provides core modules for developing extensible relay and client software tailored for businesses, focusing on Java and JVM-based languages."
