# NIPs
NIPs stand for **Nostr Implementation Possibilities**. They exist to document what may be implemented by [Nostr](https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr)-compatible _relay_ and _client_ software.

## Message types
### Client to Relay
| type | description | NIP |
|-------|-----------------------------------------------------|-------------|
| EVENT | used to publish events | [1](01.md) |
| REQ | used to request events and subscribe to new updates | [1](01.md) |
| CLOSE | used to stop previous subscriptions | [1](01.md) |
| AUTH | used to send authentication events | [42](42.md) |
### Relay to Client
| type | description | NIP |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------|
| EVENT | used to send events requested to clients | [1](01.md) |
| NOTICE | used to send human-readable messages to clients | [1](01.md) |
| EOSE | used to notify clients all stored events have been sent | [15](15.md) |

Please update these lists when proposing NIPs introducing new event kinds.
When experimenting with kinds, keep in mind the classification introduced by [NIP-16](16.md).

## Criteria for acceptance of NIPs
1. They should be implemented in at least two clients and one relay -- when applicable.
2. They should make sense.
3. They should be optional and backwards-compatible: care must be taken such that clients and relays that choose to not implement them do not stop working when interacting with the ones that choose to.
4. There should be no more than one way of doing the same thing.
5. Other rules will be made up when necessary.
