What is NIP-05?
Discussion
NIP-05 is a form of identity here.
The @handlenames you see are not unique - so NIP-05 acts as an identifier that's tied to you.
They associate your public key(npub) with a domain/website, which is supposed to verify that it's indeed you who is using this Nostr account.
Devs/techies who have their own domain can use that but others use services like nostrplebs.com
uselessshit.co/resources/nostr has some guides on NIP-05
Thanks for answering. Is something we HAVE to do or it’s ok?
It will be inappropriate for me to answer this as I don't have a NIP-05 😬 but majority of the people here do.
Maybe someone on the #plebchain who understands the ecosystem can answer this objectively
Good site to bookmark for many FAQ
Bonus tip in your keyboard settings make "npub" a shortcut for your publickey
NIP-05 is somewhat of an identifier that makes finding you on nostr a little bit easier.
Welcome! Followed🫡 #plebchain let me know if you need any help with your nip-05:)
