#### “GM,

#### I took two months off as an experiment to see how it would feel. Nostr is the only thing on my phone that consistently generates new content so I found my screen pretty boring, which had it's benefits... I definitely got more writing done.

#### At one point, maybe two weeks ago, I noticed that nobody around me was talking about nostr. I began to wonder if it has any future or if any notable adoption would happen. Maybe nostr was a flash in the pan... I sat with that for about a week.

#### Maybe it's true, but I also couldn't stop thinking about it and I missed being here. A couple of days ago my two months was almost up and I COULDN'T WAIT to hop back on, but I did because I committed to it.

#### Many pent up notes to follow 🤙”

### 3. Amber - v6.6.5


Amber is an Android-based Nostr event signer that lets users securely approve and sign events for Nostr applications. In v6.6.5, application backups were hardened by encrypting relay-published backups with a dedicated key derived from the account key, preventing apps with remembered nip44_decrypt permission from accessing backup data such as NIP-46 secrets and local keys. The release also fixes the backup restore prompt not appearing after logging back in when backup publishing is disabled.

### 6. Sidecar - 1.14.1

In v1.14.1, it fixes an unreadable confirmation chip across several themes by improving its contrast, adds automated theme-contrast checks to prevent similar issues, and updates reviewer documentation while keeping the same files and permissions as v1.14.0. There was also the release of v1.14.0 last week.

### 4. Nostr Development Kit - v0.10.0-dev.8 (Pre-release)


Nostr Development Kit (NDK) is a Dart library designed to make building Nostr applications easier by providing developers with tools for interacting with the protocol. In this pre-release, the release reduces unnecessary background polling and cache work, exposes the NWC hold-settle deadline, and improves Cashu seed handling by ensuring seeds are written and saved correctly while preserving the seed language. This was the latest, and there were also two more pre-releases (v0.10.0-dev.7 & v0.10.0-dev.6) last week.

### 2. GRAIN - v0.8.0-rc4 (Pre-release)


GRAIN is a comprehensive Nostr solution that combines a powerful relay with a Go client library for developers building Nostr applications. In this pre-release, the relay dashboard was reworked with live vitals, event and storage statistics, improved navigation, and a new stats API, while the reference client now resolves events more reliably across outbox relays, relay hints, and NIP-50 search. The release also brings several nostrdb correctness and search improvements, including NIP-01 prefix matching, configurable full-text search kinds, and more reliable fork syncing, plus an updated signer with import-key restore support.

### 1. Flotilla - 1.11.2


Flotilla is a Discord-like Nostr client built around the idea of using relays as groups, giving communities a familiar space-based way to communicate over Nostr. In this release, startup and remote-signer handling were improved, rooms can now display messages before syncing finishes, and feed reliability was fixed when relays respond at different speeds. The release also adds an F-Droid build and keeps GitHub releases compatible with Obtainium. This was the latest, and there was also the release of 1.11.1 last week.

Recap by nostr:npub19hs0lg9vyd0lghayeju5fnflx0melawjrl8etuqln9gkhd4mwtxq2t5jcn

> 🎧 **Audioversion.** Lieber zuhören? Diesen Artikel gibt es auch zum Anhören: **[Audio starten · 4:52 min](https://blossom.einundzwanzig.space/4ba79c7dee94084849cbdf940160abdf056b74c964975082ba0933bba8461536.mp3)** *(MP3, ≈ 1.7 MB)*

Ein Brett, zwei Uhren und gegenüber jemand, der auch Bitcoin mag. Mehr braucht es nicht.

Das ist TWENTY ONE esports, die Spieleplattform der EINUNDZWANZIG-Community auf [esports.einundzwanzig.space](https://esports.einundzwanzig.space). Gewertet wird dort noch nicht. Gespielt wird längst.

## Was wir vorhaben

Wir bauen eine Liga für Bitcoiner: Ladder, Clans, Turniere und Seasons, in denen faire Siege Blöcke schürfen.

Gerade läuft die Pre-Season, und da ist alles casual. Du spielst, übst und lernst Leute kennen, ohne dass etwas auf dem Spiel steht. Ernst wird es mit Block 0. Den Termin legt der Vorstand fest. Noch steht er nicht.


Der Code ist offen und liegt auf [GitHub](https://github.com/HolgerHatGarKeineNode/twenty-one-esports). Wer wissen will, wie gezählt wird, kann nachlesen.

## Dein Einstieg in vier Leveln


### Level 1: Einloggen

Anmelden geht mit Nostr, per Browser-Erweiterung oder App, oder ganz klassisch mit Google. Kein Passwort. Keine Mitgliedschaft.


### Level 2: Warmspielen

Blitz 5+3 läuft direkt im Browser. Gegner suchen, die Uhr tickt, los geht's.

[](https://blossom.einundzwanzig.space/21bcec8a027898f10d39a1776a523d97e325e2b0795f7e988af2e2837f1b2dbe.mp4)

Keine Zeit für eine ganze Partie am Stück? Dann ist Fernschach deins: ein Zug am Tag, zwischen Kaffee und Meeting. Bist du dran, stupst dich die Seite per Nostr-DM an.


[](https://blossom.einundzwanzig.space/70812d478a1abcfb4a80fe8cc41768518787476739eaba839dbd6320d250ae75.mp4)

Jede Partie bewegt deine Casual-Elo und deinen Platz auf der Casual-Ladder. Einen Rang oder eine Belohnung gibt es dafür nicht. Aber du siehst, wo du stehst, bevor es zählt.


Lieber erst mal gucken? Laufende Partien verfolgst du auch ohne Login.


### Level 3: Clan gründen

Name, Kürzel, ein Satz Beschreibung, fertig. Wer mag, verknüpft den Clan mit seinem EINUNDZWANZIG-Meetup. Das Logo kommt danach, und die Mitspieler holst du per Einladung oder Beitrittslink.


### Level 4: Turnier

Dafür gibt es gleich einen eigenen Abschnitt.

## Das erste Turnier: EA Sports FC 26


Es heißt EINUNDZWANZIG Fifa 2026. Gespielt wird EA Sports FC 26, eins gegen eins, online. Zuerst die Gruppen, in denen jeder gegen jeden antritt, danach K.-o. bis ins Finale. Termin und Details findest du auf der [Turnierseite](https://esports.einundzwanzig.space/tournaments/1), dort steht immer der aktuelle Stand.

Und dann die Auslosung. Schließt die Anmeldung, wird nach Elo gesetzt. Den Zufall für den Turnierbaum liefert der Hash des nächsten Bitcoin-Blocks. Den kennt vorher niemand, wir auch nicht.


Wie das aussehen könnte, zeigt die Turnierseite schon jetzt: eine Vorschau der Gruppen, als wäre die Anmeldung gerade zu Ende.


Ergebnisse tragt ihr selbst ein. Einer meldet, der andere bestätigt, und nur bei Streit schaut ein Admin drauf.

Weil wir noch vor Block 0 sind, ist jedes Match casual. Es geht um die Ehre und um die Geschichte, die du am nächsten Tag erzählst.

Zu zweit macht das mehr Spaß. Den Link zum Turnier teilst du mit einem Klick, per Nostr, Telegram oder als Bild.


[](https://blossom.einundzwanzig.space/270c76bac39a59f2da6bf213416029dbc5eaced0ed0210667e35db9fc3e236ba.mp4)

Das erste Turnier wird nicht das letzte sein. Fünf Formate kann die Seite schon:


## So funktioniert die Season

Stell dir die Season als Kette vor. Sie beginnt mit Block 0, und ab da schürft jeder faire, gewertete Sieg einen neuen Block.


Für diese Blöcke gibt es sats aus einem Topf. Ausgezahlt wird einmal, nach der Season-Prüfung.

Wer früh schürft, bekommt mehr pro Block. Die Season läuft nämlich in Etappen, und mit jeder Etappe halbiert sich der Lohn. Ein Halving, nur eben für Spieler.


Farmen soll sich nicht lohnen. Darum zählt nicht jeder Sieg.


Der wichtigste Punkt ist Vertrauen. Trusted wirst du, wenn dich Spieler als Gegner eintragen, denen die Liga schon vertraut. Am Anfang dieses Netzes stehen die zahlenden Mitglieder des EINUNDZWANZIG-Vereins und die Admins. Heißt für dich: gegen echte Leute spielen, eintragen lassen, selbst eintragen.

Zehnmal gegen denselben Kumpel? Bringt irgendwann nichts mehr. Der erste Sieg gegen jemand Neues schon, und genau so ist es gewollt.

Das alles ist ein Entwurf, Regeln und Zahlen können sich bis Block 0 noch ändern. Damit du den Start nicht verpasst, gibt es auf der Startseite den Knopf „Bei Block 0 benachrichtigen“.

## Was mit Block 0 dazukommt

Gewertete Elo, gewertete Ladder und für jeden Rang ein eigenes Abzeichen. Bronze ist der Anfang.


Auch Clans bekommen Ranglisten. Das Clan Rating zeigt, wie stark eure besten Spieler sind, und die Clan-Hashrate sammelt Punkte aus jeder gewerteten Partie. Selbst eine Niederlage bringt ein bisschen was.

Am meisten freuen wir uns auf Meetup gegen Meetup. Alle Clans einer Stadt spielen dabei zusammen. Welches Meetup landet ganz oben?


## Los geht's

Einloggen auf [esports.einundzwanzig.space](https://esports.einundzwanzig.space), eine Runde Blitz zum Warmwerden, Clan gründen oder beitreten. Und dann auf der [Turnierseite](https://esports.einundzwanzig.space/tournaments/1) einen Platz sichern, denn die Plätze sind begrenzt.

Der Block, der den Turnierbaum mischt, ist noch nicht gefunden.

Meet **Napcraft**: a little voxel world you can build with friends—and return to after everyone leaves. 🧱

https://blossom.primal.net/06ba911b6d81dbc1d51fbf0253e3a9b11c272947fdfe52a4a289b58a9e63b527.mp4

It demonstrates something bigger we’ve shipped in napplet.soy: **dynamic, persistent backends**, developed and deployed through soyLI.

Our new `soy.backends.v1` service contract builds on NAP-CVM. Developers supply a TypeScript handler and JSON schemas describing stored data, operation inputs/outputs and access requirements. The schemas define the structure; the handler enforces the game’s rules.

The flow:

**Write rules + schemas → publish source through Git/GRASP → request a provider build → activate the backend → players create and interact with persistent worlds.**

The provider compiles the source and executes it inside an isolated QuickJS/WebAssembly sandbox. Signed build receipts connect each backend release to its source commit. Players use their Nostr identity; validated changes are committed atomically, and worlds stay pinned to their backend version.

Different traffic takes different paths:

- **Backend operations:** encrypted MCP requests over Nostr through [ContextVM](https://contextvm.org/).
- **Live movement and presence:** NAP-WEBRTC data channels, connecting directly where possible, with TURN as a relay fallback.
- **Source and history:** Git/GRASP.
- **Playable builds and presentation assets:** Blossom.

CVM handles durable state and rules; WebRTC handles the fast, transient multiplayer traffic.

https://napplet.soy/n/naddr1qvzqqqyf8ypzqw49s9e88sajl985jxzquprj7pyapugqp83rme3sqctxhj5mxm4rqythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwv9c8qmr9wsh8xmmeqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5q3jamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwphkx6m9w3ehgu3wvdhk6qqddckn2vnx89jnyvnxx43k2z8kenr/play

This opens the door to collaborative worlds, shared simulations and turn-based games without every creator having to operate a server. Hosted backend slots currently require creator approval.
