NIP-24

Extra metadata fields and tags

draft optional author:fiatjaf

This NIP defines extra optional fields added to events.

kind 0

These are extra fields not specified in NIP-01 that may be present in the stringified JSON of metadata events:

  • display_name: an alternative, bigger name with richer characters than name. name should always be set regardless of the presence of display_name in the metadata.
  • website: a web URL related in any way to the event author.
  • banner: an URL to a wide (~1024x768) picture to be optionally displayed in the background of a profile screen.

Deprecated fields

These are fields that should be ignored or removed when found in the wild:

  • displayName: use display_name instead.
  • username: use name instead.

kind 3

These are extra fields not specified in NIP-02 that may be present in the stringified JSON of contacts events:

Deprecated fields

  • {<relay-url>: {"read": <true|false>, "write": <true|false>}, ...}: an object of relays used by a user to read/write. NIP-65 should be used instead.

tags

These tags may be present in multiple event kinds. Whenever a different meaning is not specified by some more specific NIP (currently only "r" tags on kind 10002 events have a different meaning), they have the following meaning:

  • r: a web URL the event is referring to in some way
