It was infrastructure season. Fewer tourists, more builders, better pipes.

We dig into what actually improved in 2025 (clients, discovery, culture, value-for-value), why onboarding and web-of-trust still matter, and what we’re most excited for in 2026 as Nostr keeps expanding beyond “Twitter but decentralized” into something bigger and weirder in the best way.
