Nostr is a protocol, designed for simplicity, to create a censorship-resistant global social network. Let's unpack that a little: Nostr is a protocol, designed for simplicity, to create a censorship-resistant global social network. Let's unpack that a little:
### Simple ### Simple
The protocol is based on very simple & flexible `Event` objects (which are passed around as plain JSON) and uses standard public-key cryptography for keys & signing. This makes it easy to run relays and build clients and ensures that the protocol can be extended over time.

### Resilient ### Resilient
Because Nostr doesn't rely on a small number of trusted servers for moving or storing data, it's very resilient. The protocol assumes that relays will disappear and allows users to connect & publish to an arbitrary number of relays that they can change over time.
