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¡

🦀 MDK: github.com/parres-hq/mdk

I don't understand the need for a different name or app.

Is it in fact a different app from White Noise?

I see user confusion and detraction from the reputation of White Noise.

You are saying WN wasn't isn't good enough, and now there is this better Marmot thing that will take resources from the project that just yesterday was being touted as "the shit".

White Noise (app) uses MDK (software development kit - it's a library for all devs to use).

MDK is an implementation of the Marmot spec (the description in english of how all secure messaging operations should work).

nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet59uqzqawhxlp5wfr3q2wyfpmtxvxj9ppg3fp80x6erghdfk4pcmq8a7hhwp9puf isn't going anywhere. This is just a step to make things more interoperable and easier for other developers to add secure messaging to their own apps.
