About Us

Short history

nostr.build started as a free, community focused, media (image, gif and video) uploader for the nostr social media platform on December 24th, 2022. Check out our original website before @rob and @nahuelg5 completely redesigned it! nostr.build’s main purpose is to help grow the nostr ecosystem by providing a free, web based, API or application integrated way to upload user’s favorite media. We believe in a transparent, community approach to media moderation and open source code.

Some of nostr.build’s key principles include:

- Always provide a free service that will keep uploaded media as accurate and as long as possible, ’Archived!’
- No ads! No commercial advertisements!
- Only community projects, nostr builders, educators, creators, developers, artists and memes. Just ask us.
- Provide value for value to users including new features, integrations, support, and responsive communication.

Free services

nostr.build’s key objective is to offer a free, no ads, reliable, long time storage of media for the nostr community.
We will also continue to add additional features to our free service, including:
- Media (images, audio and video) uploads up to (7MB) hosted on Cloudflare
- Cloudflare global CDN network for images and GIFs
- No ads! Only community projects, nostr builders, creators, devs, artists and memes
- Profile picture uploader that properly shrinks, crops and puts your PP in a hidden folder
- API (NIP96 and Proprietary) for all nostr applications, projects and developers

nostr.build was recently honored to be part of the first wave of nostr devs to receive a grant from the OpenSats public charity focused on Bitcoin and Nostr projects. Although this will help greatly with R&D, new projects, growth and overages, the goal is to keep nostr.build ‘self-sustainable’ through account earnings.

** People often ask, “how do you cover costs for free services?"
