Returns:

  • (Integer) 
0
TEXT_NOTE =

The content is set to the text content of a note (anything the user wants to say). Non-plaintext notes should instead use kind 1000-10000 as described in NIP-16.

Returns:

  • (Integer) 
1
RECOMMEND_SERVER =
Deprecated.

This event kind was removed in github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/703/files#diff-39307f1617417657ee9874be314f13aabdc74401b124d0afe8217f2919c9c7d8L105

CONTACT_LIST =

A special event with kind 3, meaning “contact list” is defined as having a list of p tags, one for each of the followed/known profiles one is following.

Returns:

  • (Integer) 
3
ENCRYPTED_DIRECT_MESSAGE =

A special event with kind 4, meaning “encrypted direct message”. An event of this kind has its content equal to the base64-encoded, aes-256-cbc encrypted string of anything a user wants to write, encrypted using a shared cipher generated by combining the recipient’s public-key with the sender’s private-key.

Returns:
