In retrospect, the main value of did-nostr is its ability to unify Nostr and Bitcoin primitives within a single JSON object. This not only enables a 10x–100x architectural scaling potential for both systems, but also unlocks advanced use cases like on-chain zaps, trustless atomic swaps, decentralized contracts, consistent profiles and agentic Nostr.
That said, I’m not entirely satisfied with the current DID spec—there are a couple of tweaks that would make a real difference. Still, it’s a significant improvement over what we have today, and those edge cases can be fixed later.
