NIP-63
======
Signed Filters
--------------
`draft` `optional`
This NIP declares the use of event kind `33012` to represent one or more Nostr filters.
The `d` tag represents the subscription id and the `filter` tag contains the JSON-stringified [NIP-01](01.md) filter.
```js
{
"kind": 33012,
"tags": [
["d", "<subscription_id>"],
["relay", "<relay>"],
["filter", "<filter1>"],
["filter", "<filter2>"],
["expiration", "<unix timestamp>"],
],
"content": "",
// ...other fields
}
```
They are submitted to supporting relays via `SREQ` command, with the following format:
```js
["SREQ", <signed kind-33012>]
```
Supporting relays interpret the `filter` tags of this event in the same way they do with `REQ` while automatically authenticating the signer.
Relays MAY reject these filters based on `created_at`.
An expiration tag MAY be used to limit the reuse of the filter.
## Motivation
The goal is to be able to support `AUTH` from multiple users in the same connection. As a side effect, this approach removes the `AUTH` round trip.
Trusted proxies can use these event types to query relays on behalf of the user.
