the Authenticated and Non-networked protocol or ANother protocol

ed25519 keypairs sign timestamp + hash in base64

try it at anproto.com/try or use a client such as wiredove

What is ANProto?#

  • ANProto is the spiritual successor to secure-scuttlebot, but without all of the extra stuff that is difficult to maintain.
  • ANProto is an attempt to argue that ATProto is too involved in it's own networking infrastructure to be usefully decentralized.
  • ANProto operates under the working theory that Nostr will never reach anyone besides Bitcoiners.

Bring your own network!#

ANProto works over any networking stack. Open the messages from your URL bar! Email them to your friends! Load them on a USB stick an slingshot them over a river! ANProto is non-networked, so you can send and retrieve the messages anyway you want. Try the fetch API or Websockets if you want a good place to start. But maybe dork out trying to send ANProto messages via Bluetooth, LoRa, or sync them via local wifi like you did with Scuttlebot!

the JavaScript library!#

use Deno or your browser

import { an } from './an.js'

console.log(await an.gen())

console.log(await an.hash('Hello World'))
