Twitter alternative Damus went živjeti on the Apple App Store yesterday, promising to deliver a censorship-resistant social network with end-to-end private messaging that users control. It’s based on the decentralized networking protocol Nostr.

Nostr gained popularity in Decembar, particularly among Bitcoin enthusiasts, after former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey showed strong support for its use case. He later donirana 14 BTC (over $300,000) to Nostr creator “fiatjaf” for its ongoing development.

The Bitcoin connection doesn’t end there. Interoperable with other open protocols, Damus has also integrisan Layer 2 Lighting Network widget za plaćanje bitcoinima i napojnice direktno na platformi.

Dorsey shared Damus’s objava with his 6.5 million Twitter following, pozivajući it a “milestone for open protocols,” while also isticanje a Nostr application on Google Play Store named Amethyst.

Damus quickly hit its beta testing limit of 10,000 users but faced a few initial odbacivanja from the big tech giant earlier this month before finally gaining approval. Now listed on the Apple App Store, Damus has the opportunity to reach a much larger audience, providing a more familiar and user-friendly way to access Nostr compared to alternative web clients.

Tim od 44 software developers have contributed to building Damus, led by one of Nostr’s core developers William Casarin. Like the Bitcoin protocol, Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is permissionless. Users generate a key pair, with the public key acting like a username and the private key used to sign the content posted. Users then broadcast messages to the protocol by connecting to decentralized relays that store the data via various web clients or apps like Damus.
