+Proxy Tags
+----------
+
+`draft` `optional` `author:alexgleason`
+
+Nostr events bridged from other protocols such as ActivityPub can link back to the source object by including a `"proxy"` tag, in the form:
+
+```
+["proxy", <id>, <protocol>]
+```
+
+Where:
+
+- `<id>` is the ID of the source object. The ID format varies depending on the protocol. The ID must be universally unique, regardless of the protocol.
+- `<protocol>` is the name of the protocol, e.g. `"activitypub"`.
+
+Clients may use this information to reconcile duplicated content bridged from other protocols, or to display a link to the source object.
+
+Proxy tags may be added to any event kind, and doing so indicates that the event did not originate on the Nostr protocol, and instead originated elsewhere on the web.
+
+### Supported protocols
+
+This list may be extended in the future.
+
+| Protocol | ID format | Example |
+| -------- | --------- | ------- |
+| `activitypub` | URL | `https://gleasonator.com/objects/9f524868-c1a0-4ee7-ad51-aaa23d68b526` |
+| `atproto` | AT URI | `at://did:plc:zhbjlbmir5dganqhueg7y4i3/app.bsky.feed.post/3jt5hlibeol2i` |
+| `rss` | URL with guid fragment | `https://soapbox.pub/rss/feed.xml#https%3A%2F%2Fsoapbox.pub%2Fblog%2Fmostr-fediverse-nostr-bridge` |
+| `web` | URL | `https://twitter.com/jack/status/20` |
+
+### Examples
+
+ActivityPub object:
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 1,

+    [
