It prioritizes privacy with features like private key login, encrypted private chats and contacts, coupled with an open communication platform through public channels. Its important to understand why the [Nostr](https://nostr.com/) protocol came into existence.

Nostr arrived in late 2022 to solve the problem of online censoreship that has been ever increasingly plaguing the world over the last few years.

Nostr is built with a truly censoreship resistant and redundancy architecture, making it decentralized. [0xChat](https://0xchat.com/#/) is the mobile messenger application, available on respective mobile app stores. Skip the usual hassle of providing a phone number, email, or name.

In Addition to keeping global communications secure, uninterrupted, and censorship resistant, users of Nostr clients are able to tip each other seamlessly, instantly, and with zero fees using the Bitcoin [lightning network](https://lightning.network/).
