This NIP proposes HMAC Key Derivation Function (HKDF) coupled with SHA-256 from ECDSA signatures (EIP-191) as an alternative to the Schnorr signatures (BIP-340), allowing Nostr to interact with Ethereum ecosystem, and vice-versa. +This specification provides an optional method for Nostr clients to generate deterministic private keys from Ethereum wallet signatures. The private keys are derived using HMAC Key Derivation Function (HKDF) applied to SHA-256 of ECDSA signatures (EIP-191), allowing Nostr to interact with Ethereum infrastructure and vice-versa. ## Terminology ### a) Username
