FAQPage Schema

How do I set up a nostr.json endpoint for NIP-05 identity verification?▼

To set up NIP-05 identity verification, create a nostr.json file mapping usernames to hex pubkeys, serve it over HTTPS at the exact path, configure proper CORS headers, and update the nip05 field in your kind:0 profile.

Why does my NIP-05 verification fail even after hosting nostr.json?▼

NIP-05 verification fails if nostr.json is not served over HTTPS, contains incorrect hex pubkeys, has missing CORS headers, uses redirects, or if the nip05 field in your kind:0 event does not match your domain.

Can I use Nginx or Apache to host my nostr.json file for Nostr identity?▼

Yes, you can use static hosting or dynamic servers like Nginx, Apache, Caddy, Node.js, and Vercel to serve nostr.json. You must ensure the server enforces HTTPS and applies the correct CORS headers.

What is NIP-05 and why do I need it for my Nostr profile?▼

NIP-05 is a Nostr protocol feature that maps usernames to public keys via a nostr.json file. It provides reliable identity verification, allowing clients to confirm a user's pubkey is genuinely associated with their domain.

How do I update my kind:0 profile to complete NIP-05 verification?▼

To complete NIP-05 verification, update your kind:0 profile metadata by adding the nip05 field with your username and domain, then test the verification flow to ensure the client correctly fetches the nostr.json endpoint.
