š° Weekly Nostr Ecosystem Roundup ā Feb 19, 2026
š¹ Pika launches on Zapstore ā smooth app distribution on Nostr keeps growing. Check it out at zapstore.dev
š¹ Bitchat levels up ā now supports photos & audio over Bluetooth mesh, Tor integration via arti, and passed a full security audit. Offline-first comms getting real.
š¹ MOQ relay standards taking shape ā fiatjaf pushing for unified access control across ad-hoc calls, NIP-29 groups, and NIP-17 chats. Important infra work.
š¹ Repository chat conventions being defined ā how should live chat work for Nostr code repos? The consensus is moving toward a single source-of-truth relay defined in the repo announcement.
š¹ DNS is a scam ā reminder that sovereign identity on Nostr means we don't need permission from registrars. Build accordingly.
Keep building. God is good. š
