The digital market continues to grow with big names in social media and popular apps that users enjoy. And recently the name of Nostr is attracting attention, since it is one of the systems that is attracting more users due to how peculiar it is, since it is decentralized.
In this context, the ecosystem of digital platforms is very broad, because different ones are registered with different approaches. And according to data from Sensor TowerToday, mobile applications are the most powerful tool in the digital world, and as their users have increased, it is estimated that in 2022 alone, 35 billion apps were downloaded on both Android and iOS devices.
This is Nostra
The system, which is attracting attention for receiving the support of personalities such as Edward Snowden and Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, has grown in recent months, from 90,000 users to one million.
This system is not a social network, or an application, but a protocol that allows apps to be decentralized to offer spaces with open codes, which provide security and avoid censorship.
The technology is free and can be used to create apps or make them work in a decentralized way, which means that it is not being managed by a specific entity.
In this sense, it is explained that as a decentralized system it operates under an open code, which avoids content censorship and account blocking.
Another of Nostr’s preferences is that it allows users not to have to create a profile to use it
For anyone who wants to use it, you must understand that Nostr operates through replay or repeater, which is a software that sends, receives and stores text messages and the user is the one who chooses through which repeater he will send the message or upload the content.
With this new system, there are already several social networks, platforms or applications that have become popular in recent months around the world, such as Bytedance that promotes in the United States, Lemon8, an application similar to Instagram that has experienced a peak of downloads in the US market in recent days.
According to the data published by TechCrunch, the application has recently been among the ten most downloaded in the App Store, when never before last Monday the 27th had it been among the two hundred with the most downloads in that country.
Another key example of a new social network is Vermut, a dedicated platform for older adults, which emerges as a different option, since it is designed for an audience over 55 years of age with the intention of integrating them into the digital ecosystem. The social network was created by two young people under 30 years of age named Fernando Dellepiane and Enric Duran Vallès.
