Built on open protocols.
Fanfares publishes its protocol as open nostr NIPs so anyone can build compatible clients, sell content, and verify authorship without our permission.
Partially Encrypted Events
A convention for nostr events that carry an encrypted, paywalled payload alongside a public preview, so locked content stays visible and shareable in any nostr client. Pay the creator to receive the key and unlock the full content in place.
Fanfares Content Event Specification
The canonical event structure for every Fanfares content type: notes, articles, music, podcasts, audiobooks, and video. Third-party apps can publish and unlock Fanfares-compatible content by following this spec.
Edit-Durable OpenTimestamp Content Attribution
Bitcoin-anchored proof of authorship that survives edits, built on MinHash content fingerprints and OpenTimestamps. Repairs the timestamp-forgery weakness that got NIP-03 unrecommended.
