- NIP-05: Mapping Nostr keys to DNS-based internet identifiers
- NIP-06: Basic key derivation from mnemonic seed phrase
- NIP-07:

Please update this list when proposing NIPs introducing new event kinds.
When experimenting with kinds, keep in mind the classification introduced by NIP-16.
Criteria for acceptance of NIPs
- They should be implemented somewhere at least as a prototype somewhere.
- They should make sense.
- Other rules will be made up when necessary.
