The social network we are creating will be based on the Nostr protocol (which is known for being decentralized, secure and focused on privacy). The idea is to create an application that has functions similar to Telegram, but with some advantages that this protocol brings:
Decentralized Messages: Unlike WhatsApp or Telegram, which are controlled by central servers, here messages will be sent and received directly between users, without depending on a central server. This guarantees more privacy and security.
No Central Control: Since it is based on Nostr, there is no company controlling the data. Users themselves have more freedom and control over their information and the network cannot be censored in a simple way.
Privacy and Security: End-to-end encryption will ensure that only the sender and recipient can read the messages. Since Nostr was created with a focus on anonymity, it will be very difficult for anyone to track conversations.
Complete Functionality: The idea is to have everything that already exists in popular apps, such as:
Private chats and groups.
Video and audio calls.
File and media sharing.
Support for channels and bots, to make use more dynamic.
Push notifications.
Expandable with NFTs and Crypto: Since we are in a decentralized environment, it will be possible to add integrations with cryptocurrencies, NFTs and other blockchain technologies, which can be a differentiator to attract more users.
What You Will Need from a Developer:
To make this work, you will need a team or developers who know the following areas:
Backend Developer (with knowledge of Nostr):
You need to know how to program servers and work with decentralized protocols. Nostr uses a system that is different from traditional central servers, so you need to understand how to integrate this.
Knowledge of Node.js, Python or languages used to create scalable servers is important.
Understanding encryption and data security, since the focus is on user privacy.
Frontend Developer (Mobile and Web):
You will need to create interfaces for both the mobile app (Android/iOS) and the web version. Here, skills with React Native, Flutter or even Kotlin/Swift will be useful.
Experience with UX/UI to make the app beautiful and functional.
API integration, to ensure that the app communicates well with the backend.
Blockchain/Cryptocurrency Specialist:
If the idea is to integrate crypto functionalities, a dev who knows blockchain will be essential to work with wallets, NFTs, tokens and any decentralized financial integration.
DevOps:
We need someone to configure the infrastructure, even if the network is decentralized. The DevOps guy will be responsible for making the integration with Nostr fluid and ensuring that everything works smoothly on a large scale.
Security Specialist:
Since we are dealing with sensitive data, someone with expertise in cybersecurity will be needed to prevent attacks, leaks and to ensure that all communications are end-to-end and tamper-proof.
