+Discrete query messages - "FOLLOWS" and "FOLLOWERS"
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+'draft' 'optional'
+
+## Discrete query messages
+
+Discrete query messages aim for relays to provide essential, quick and efficient searching methods instead of using the "REQ" message.
+
+Each discrete query message should have a single function and be simple enough to obtain results from tables with indexes to ensure quick searching. 
+
+This NIP determines two discreet query messages, "FOLLOWS" and "FOLLOWERS."
+
+### "FOLLOWS" 
+
+"FOLLOWS" has the messaging pattern following. 
+
+- ["FOLLOWS", <subscription_id>, ["npub1", "npub2", ...] ]
+
+Once the message is received, the relay should return each npub's follow list based on the latest kind 3 event.
+
+The result is much simpler than the original kind 3 event such as:
+
+``` json
+["FOLLOWS", <subscription_id>, 
+       {
+              "pubkey": "npub1",
+              "follows": [
+              ["91cf9..4e5ca", "wss://alicerelay.com/", "alice"],
+              ["14aeb..8dad4", "wss://bobrelay.com/nostr", "bob"],
+              ["612ae..e610f", "ws://carolrelay.com/ws", "carol"]
+              ]
+       },
+       {
+              "pubkey": "npub2",
+              "follows": [
+                     ...
+              ]
+       },
+       {
+              "pubkey": "npub3",
+              "follows": [
+                     ...
+              ]
+       },
+       ...
+]
+```
+### "FOLLOWERS"
+
+"FOLLOWERS" has the following messaging pattern. 
+
+- ["FOLLOWERS", <subscription_id>, ["npub1", "npub2", ...] ]
+
+Once the message is received, the relay should return the follower list of each npub based on aggregating all the latest kind 3 events of all the npubs.
+The result from the relay has the following pattern.
+
+``` json
+["FOLLOWERS", <subscription_id>, 
+       {
+              "pubkey": "npub1",
+              "followers": [
+              ["91cf9..4e5ca", "wss://alicerelay.com/", "alice"],
+              ["14aeb..8dad4", "wss://bobrelay.com/nostr", "bob"],
+              ["612ae..e610f", "ws://carolrelay.com/ws", "carol"]
+              ]
+       },
+       {
+              "pubkey": "npub2",
+              "followers": [ 
+                     ... 
+              ]
+       },
+       {
+              "pubkey": "npub3",
+              "followers": [ 
+                     ... 
+              ]
+       },
+       ...
+]
+```
+
+## Communication between clients and relays
+
+### From client to relay:
+
+The following message will be used to manage a query session, including "FOLLOWS" and "FOLLOWERS" already described above.
+
+- ["CLOSE", <subscription_id>], used to stop the ongoing querying session.
+
+### From relay to client
+
+Relays can send the following messages.
+
+["EOSE", <subscription_id>], used to indicate the end of searching and the beginning of a new searching session.
+["CLOSED", <subscription_id>, <message>], used to indicate that the subscription was ended on the server side.
+["NOTICE", <message>], used to send a human-readable message in case of an error.
+
+## Appendix - managing the latest follows and followers of each npub
+
+To obtain follows and followers of each npub from a relay, it should have an aggregated list of all the follows of the npubs that stored kind-3 to the relay such as:
+
+| npub(indexed) | follow(indexed) | main_relay | petname |
+|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|
+| **npub1** | npub2 | wss://relay1.net | Bob |
+| **npub1** | npub3 | wss://relay1.net | Carol |
+| **npub1** | npub4 | wss://relay2.net | Dave |
+| npub2 | npub1 | wss://relay1.net | Alice |
+| npub2 | npub3 | wss://relay1.net | Carol |
+| npub2 | npub4 | wss://relay2.net | David |
+| npub4 | npub1 | wss://relay1.net |  |
+| npub4 | npub2 | wss://relay1.net |  |
+
+Both the "npub" and "follow" columns must be indexed in the database. That way, by searching "npub" with a specific "follow," the relay can search for followers quickly. 
+
+| npub(indexed) | follow(indexed) | main_relay | petname |
+|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|
+| *npub2* | **npub1** | wss://relay1.net | Alice |
+| *npub4* | **npub1** | wss://relay1.net |  |
+| npub1 | npub2 | wss://relay1.net | Bob |
+| npub4 | npub2 | wss://relay1.net |  |
+| npub1 | npub3 | wss://relay1.net | Carol |
+| npub2 | npub3 | wss://relay1.net | Carol |
+| npub1 | npub4 | wss://relay2.net | Dave |
+| npub2 | npub4 | wss://relay2.net | David |
+
+("npub1" is followed by "npub2" and "npub4")
