Is there a NIP or something that explains how private and public keys should be encoded? It looks like Damus supports a format other than just a raw hex key.

damus uses base64 to encode the keys. you can convert from damus type to hex using damus.io/key

Ah ok. Thanks! Are the nsec/npub prefixes part of that as well?
