1. txinfo - Nostr based blockchain transaction insights - New Tool
txinfo is a decentralized tool that enhances blockchain transaction and address details using Nostr. Designed to be local-first, censorship-resistant, and independent, it allows users to access and share transaction insights without relying on centralized services. While fully functional without external dependencies, an Etherscan API key can be used for optimization.

1. A Comparison of Decentralized Social Media Networks
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This video discusses the rise of decentralized social media networks like Nostr, Mastodon, and Blue Sky as alternatives to traditional platforms like Twitter and Facebook. It explains the origins and functioning of each network, highlighting how Mastodon operates within the Fediverse, Blue Sky follows a similar model but with less decentralization, and Nostr takes a unique approach by using cryptographic keys for user identity and relays for message distribution. The video emphasizes Nostr's true decentralization, where users control their data without reliance on a single server. It also touches on @npub1sg6…f63m involvement in both Blue Sky and Nostr, noting his preference for decentralized protocols, particularly those aligned with Bitcoin principles.

==================
🌱 Ecosystem Growth
==================
Nostr is growing fast! There are now over 45 Nostr clients, and relays are running in more than 40 countries around the globe.
According to https://nostrapps.com, there are overall 75 Nostr apps for now.
During this week:
Total zaps: 56,298, compared to 68,468 zaps the week before
https://m.primal.net/ONPN.png
- Total zap amount: 9,890,973, compared to 12,329,801 sats the week before
https://m.primal.net/ONQV.png
Note: You can see some inconsistency with comparing this recap with the last few recaps’ total zap amounts. The reason is that zaps to Primal wallets were considered "invalid" by @npub1xdt…ntxy code, and when the issue was pointed out they decided to relax their code. So all numbers were adjusted to include Primal zaps too.
