Nodes · kind 11801 descriptor, kind 21801 heartbeat

Active Node Descriptors

Node descriptors declare node class, supported protocols, and reachable network endpoints. Heartbeats (kind 21801) are ephemeral events broadcast to confirm liveness. Anchor nodes publish heartbeats at least once per hour.

Coverage · kind 30803

Shard Coverage Claims

Coverage claims specify filter coordinates, completeness percentages, and Negentropy set fingerprints. Asserted claims reflect data ingested directly by the publishing node. Best-effort claims reflect data replicated across peer paths.

Faces · kind 30166, NIP-66

Relay Interface Metadata

Relay metadata adheres to NIP-66 standards for universal client compatibility. Published tags reflect active server constraints, admission rules, and supported extensions.

Reputation · kind 30385, NIP-85

Published Adverse Reports

NIP-85 reputation events record signed dispute evidence following severity ladder breaches. Nodes project scores only when publishing substantiated fraud findings, reflecting budget reductions against offending peers. Normal operations produce zero adverse records.

Privacy Architecture

Private Wire Protocol State

Internal protocol state remains off public relays by design:

• Blinded grants (kind 30801): Grants are addressed using coordinates derived from shared Diffie-Hellman secrets. Envelopes remain encrypted to the recipient, concealing peering terms and budget allocations from outside observers.
• Private clean windows: Compliant peering operations publish zero attestations. Only substantiated protocol violations produce public dispute records.
• Bilateral receipts: Delivery receipts and transit envelopes circulate strictly point-to-point. They appear in public events only as cryptographic evidence within signed fraud proofs.
