What do you get when you cross Messaging Layer Security with Nostr's decentralized network? A Marmot. 🦫

Introducing Marmot: Marmot is an evolution of NIP-EE into a full protocol with modular specs for optional features. Built for the future of secure messaging!

We're also excited to announce MDK (Marmot Development Kit) - a standalone Rust library following the BDK/LDK model.

Check out the blog post for more details! âš¡

Great work Jeff, happy to see that specs are consolidating and MDK will help developers to build new interoperable clients.

Just a feedback about the name: to avoid confusion, I would probably have kept WhiteNoise as the name for the specs, renaming the reference client to something else. WhiteNoise is also more catchy, imo :)

It would have been more confusing to rename the app that people use and turn it into a protocol.

> more confusing

Reading your note's comment this doesn't seem the case :)

Until now WhiteNoise was often used as synonym of NIP-EE when talking about the MLS protocol, for this reason my proposal of use it as definitive name.

Changing an app's name that is still in alpha is not usually a big problem.
