Usually it's a made-up name such as a blog post slug or a reverse-DNS identifier, but it can also be a reference to another user or event on the network. + +When a new addressable kind is defined, it may invoke this NIP by including a third parameter in the `d` tag: a [standardized tag](./README.md#standardized-tags) name such as "e", "p", or "a". In addition, exactly one of those tags MUST be included in the tags list, and its value MUST match the `d` tag value. + +For example, an addressable kind that references another event: + +```js +[ + ["d", eventId, "e"], + ["e", eventId, ...rest], +] +``` + +Another addressable kind that references a user: + +```js +[ + ["d", userId, "p"], + ["p", userId, ...rest], +] +``` + +This NIP does not define any kinds on its own. It's meant to be adopted on a per-kind basis. It is only applicable when the event kind will ONLY ever reference a single other standardized tag in its `d` tag. + +Clients implementing this NIP MUST validate events of applicable kinds by disposing of them if they do not adhere to the above rules. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index e03cb3b..e1a51ca 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -82,6 +82,7 @@ They exist to document what may be implemented by [Nostr](https://github.com/nos - [NIP-75: Zap Goals](75.md) - [NIP-78: Application-specific data](78.md) - [NIP-84: Highlights](84.md) +- [NIP-85: `d` Tag References in Addressable Events](85.md) - [NIP-89: Recommended Application Handlers](89.md) - [NIP-90: Data Vending Machines](90.md) - [NIP-92: Media Attachments](92.md)
