Kind 30023 addressable events are changing how we publish on Nostr. What NIP-23 means for authors, readers, and the analytics that power discovery.
What is NIP-23?
NIP-23 defines kind:30023 as the standard for long-form text content on Nostr. Unlike ephemeral notes (kind:1), NIP-23 articles are addressable — they have a permanent identifier and can be edited by their author.
Why It Matters
Long-form content gives Nostr a place to host essays, documentation, journalism, and research — the kinds of dense, structured writing that do not fit in 280 characters. Addressability means readers can bookmark, share, and link to articles with confidence.
Metadata
NIP-23 articles use tags for metadata: d (identifier), title, image, summary, published_at, and t (topics). This structure makes them ideal for search, indexing, and analytics.
