Vitor PamplonaandClaude Opus 5 e9e510b831 chore(release): bump to 1.15.0
app 1.14.0 -> 1.15.0, appCode 457 -> 458. That single edit drives Android's
versionName/versionCode, Desktop and CLI packageVersion, quartz's Maven version
and geode's RelayInfo.VERSION.

RELEASE_NOTES_ID is repointed at the v1.15.0 note
(8fce45589ea44df75e828a04c7d70bb4fabedd6ffc1946a920b2f0c7c990ff9f), which
RELEASE_OPS notes happens on x.y.0 releases and not on patches. It has to ship
in this commit rather than after it: the drawer's "Release Notes" link and the
donation card both open BuildConfig.RELEASE_NOTES_ID, so a tag cut before the
repoint ships users a link to the previous release's note. Verified present on
relay.damus.io and relay.primal.net before committing.

Adds docs/changelog/v1.15.00.md, written from the 556 commits since v1.14.0,
and its index entry. The cycle's headline is the Marmot resync: the MIP
documents were deprecated in July and MDK followed, leaving our implementation
invalid under either profile the current spec defines, so it moves onto the
adopted current profile and is now interoperable with White Noise. Marmot group
chat itself is not new -- it shipped in v1.09.0 -- and the notes say so.

Also syncs the docs that state a version rather than illustrate one, since
quartz and geode both read libs.versions.app:

- README.md, quartz-integration SKILL.md and its gradle-setup.md reference
  -> quartz 1.15.0
- geode/README.md install commands -> geode 1.15.0

The Homebrew/Winget status blocks in BUILDING.md and RELEASE_OPS.md were
re-verified rather than re-stamped, and the claim had gone stale in our favour:
both Homebrew packages are live upstream now. formulae.brew.sh answers 200 for
the amethyst-nostr cask (at 1.14.0) and for the amy formula, while geode-relay
404s and microsoft/winget-pkgs still has no VitorPamplona/Amethyst -- PR #422752
is open pending CLA. Both blocks now say that, RELEASE_OPS gains a geode-relay
row, and the section heading no longer claims Homebrew is not shipping.

Left alone deliberately: everything under */packaging/ and translators.json's
tag, which the bump workflows and the Crowdin job write after the tag exists
(bumping by hand would commit wrong hashes and a dead URL); and
cli/tests/marmot/state/mdk/Cargo.lock, where 1.14.0 is an unrelated crate.

# Quartz Integration Guide
Reference for integrating `com.vitorpamplona.quartz:quartz` into external Nostr KMP projects.
**Published artifact**: `com.vitorpamplona.quartz:quartz:1.15.0` (Maven Central)
**Targets**: JVM 21+, Android (minSdk 21+), iOS (XCFramework `quartz-kmpKit`)
**License**: MIT
---
## 1. Gradle Setup
### Version Catalog (`libs.versions.toml`)
```toml
[versions]
quartz = "1.15.0"
[libraries]
quartz = { module = "com.vitorpamplona.quartz:quartz", version.ref = "quartz" }
```
### `build.gradle.kts` (KMP project)
```kotlin
kotlin {
sourceSets {
commonMain.dependencies {
implementation(libs.quartz)
}
}
}
```
### Android-only project
```kotlin
dependencies {
implementation("com.vitorpamplona.quartz:quartz:1.15.0")
}
```
### Transitive dependencies pulled in automatically
Quartz exposes these as `api` (you get them transitively):
| Dependency | Used for |
|-----------|----------|
| `fr.acinq.secp256k1:secp256k1-kmp-*` | Schnorr signing |
| `com.github.anthonynsimon:rfc3986-normalizer` | Relay URL normalization |
| `com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-kotlin` | Event JSON parsing |
For Android, add to `build.gradle.kts`:
```kotlin
android {
packaging {
resources.excludes += "/META-INF/{AL2.0,LGPL2.1}"
}
}
```
---
## 2. Key Concepts
### Core Types
```kotlin
typealias HexKey = String // 64-char hex string (pubkey, event id, sig)
typealias Kind = Int // Event kind number
typealias TagArray = Array<Array<String>>
```
### Event Anatomy
```kotlin
@Immutable
open class Event(
val id: HexKey, // SHA-256 of canonical JSON (64 hex chars)
val pubKey: HexKey, // Author public key (64 hex chars)
val createdAt: Long, // Unix timestamp (seconds)
val kind: Kind, // Event type
val tags: TagArray, // [["e","eventid"], ["p","pubkey"], ...]
val content: String,
val sig: HexKey, // Schnorr signature (128 hex chars)
)
```
### Kind Classification
```kotlin
// Regular events — stored by relays forever
val isRegular = kind in 1..9999
// Replaceable events — relay keeps only latest per (pubkey, kind)
val isReplaceable = kind == 0 || kind == 3 || kind in 10000..19999
// Addressable events — relay keeps latest per (pubkey, kind, d-tag)
val isAddressable = kind in 30000..39999
// Ephemeral events — relays don't persist
val isEphemeral = kind in 20000..29999
```
---
## 3. Key Management
### Generate a new keypair
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.crypto.KeyPair
// Generate fresh random keys
val keyPair = KeyPair()
// From existing private key bytes
val keyPair = KeyPair(privKey = myPrivKeyBytes)
// Read-only (public key only, cannot sign)
val keyPair = KeyPair(pubKey = myPubKeyBytes)
// Access
val pubKeyHex: String = keyPair.pubKey.toHexKey()
val privKeyHex: String? = keyPair.privKey?.toHexKey()
```
### Convert between formats
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.toHexKey
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.hexToByteArray
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.Nip19Parser
// ByteArray → hex
val hex = byteArray.toHexKey()
// hex → ByteArray
val bytes = hex.hexToByteArray()
// Bech32 import (npub, nsec)
val parsed = Nip19Parser.uriToRoute("npub1abc...")
// or
val parsed = Nip19Parser.uriToRoute("nsec1abc...")
```
> Hex ↔ ByteArray is a first-class utility in Quartz — see **§3.1 Hex utilities** below.
---
### 3.1 Hex utilities (HexKey ↔ ByteArray)
Nostr keys, event ids and signatures travel as lower-case hex strings. Quartz
models this with the `HexKey` typealias (just a `String`) plus extension
functions — **do not** write your own byte loop or pull in a third-party codec.
**Packages:** `com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core` (the extensions) and
`com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils` (the underlying `Hex` object).
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.HexKey // typealias = String
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.toHexKey // ByteArray → hex
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.hexToByteArray // hex → ByteArray
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.hexToByteArrayOrNull
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.isValid
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils.Hex
// Encode / decode
val hex: HexKey = pubKeyBytes.toHexKey() // lower-case, 2 chars per byte
val bytes: ByteArray = hex.hexToByteArray() // throws on odd length
// Untrusted input → decode safely
val maybe: ByteArray? = userInput.hexToByteArrayOrNull() // null if not valid hex
// Validate without decoding (no allocation)
Hex.isHex(userInput) // even-length, all hex digits (any length)
Hex.isHex64(userInput) // fast path for a 32-byte key/id (checks first 64 chars)
hex.isValid() // 64 chars AND valid hex (pubkey / event-id shape)
// Compare a hex string to raw bytes without decoding
Hex.isEqual(incomingHexId, myIdBytes)
```
| Need | Call | Notes |
|------|------|-------|
| ByteArray → hex | `bytes.toHexKey()` | lower-case output |
| hex → ByteArray (strict) | `hex.hexToByteArray()` | throws on odd length |
| hex → ByteArray (safe) | `hex.hexToByteArrayOrNull()` | `null` on invalid hex |
| is this valid hex? | `Hex.isHex(s)` / `Hex.isHex64(s)` | `isHex64` ~30% faster for keys/ids |
| is this a pubkey/id shape? | `hex.isValid()` | 64 chars + valid hex |
| hex == bytes? | `Hex.isEqual(hex, bytes)` | no decode allocation |
Constants `PUBKEY_LENGTH` and `EVENT_ID_LENGTH` (both `64`) live in the same
`nip01Core.core` package.

### 3.2 Everyday utilities (time, random, hashing, bech32, base64)
These small helpers exist so you don't reinvent them — and several have a
footgun the built-in avoids. **Prefer them over stdlib/hand-rolled equivalents.**
**Time — `TimeUtils` (`com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils`).** Everything is in Unix
**seconds** (what `created_at` and filter `since`/`until` use), *not* millis.
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils.TimeUtils
val createdAt = TimeUtils.now() // seconds — for created_at. NOT currentTimeMillis()/1000
val since = TimeUtils.oneDayAgo() // relative filter bounds: oneHourAgo(), fiveMinutesAgo()…
val fresh = TimeUtils.withinTenMinutes(event.createdAt) // NIP-42/NIP-98 freshness
// TimeUtils.nowMillis() is the only millisecond helper — non-protocol use only.
```
**Secure random — `RandomInstance` (`utils`).** Backed by `SecureRandom`; use it
for anything security-sensitive instead of `kotlin.random.Random`.
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils.RandomInstance
val nonce = RandomInstance.bytes(32) // nonces, salts, keys
val subId = RandomInstance.randomChars() // 16-char [a-zA-Z0-9] subscription id
```
**Hashing — `sha256(...)` + `EventHasher`.** `sha256` is the raw primitive; to
compute/verify an **event id** use `EventHasher`, which canonically serializes
`[0, pubkey, created_at, kind, tags, content]` before hashing (getting this wrong
is what makes relays reject an event). Typed builders already do this for you.
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils.sha256.sha256
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.crypto.EventHasher
val digest = sha256(bytes) // raw 32-byte hash
val id = EventHasher.hashId(pubKey, createdAt, kind, tags, content)
val valid = EventHasher.hashIdCheck(event.id, event.pubKey, event.createdAt, event.kind, event.tags, event.content)
```
**Bech32.** For `npub`/`nsec`/`note`/… prefer the NIP-19 layer (`ByteArray.toNpub()`,
`Nip19Parser.uriToRoute(...)` — see §10). Drop to the low-level
`Bech32` object (`nip19Bech32.bech32`) only for a custom prefix:
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.bech32.Bech32
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.bech32.bechToBytes
val addr = Bech32.encodeBytes("npub", pubKeyBytes, Bech32.Encoding.Bech32)
val bytes = "npub1...".bechToBytes("npub") // decode + assert the prefix
```
**Base64.** Quartz has no wrapper — use the Kotlin stdlib `kotlin.io.encoding.Base64`
directly, and match the variant the spec wants: NIP-44/NIP-04 payloads use
`Base64.Default` (standard, padded); url-safe contexts use `Base64.UrlSafe`
(configure padding via `.withPadding(...)`).
| Need | Call |
|------|------|
| Now (event `created_at`) | `TimeUtils.now()` (seconds) |
| Relative filter bound | `TimeUtils.oneDayAgo()` / `oneHourAgo()` / … |
| Secure random bytes | `RandomInstance.bytes(n)` |
| Subscription id | `RandomInstance.randomChars()` |
| Raw hash | `sha256(bytes)` |
| Event id / verify | `EventHasher.hashId(...)` / `hashIdCheck(...)` |
| Bech32 custom prefix | `Bech32.encodeBytes(hrp, bytes, enc)` / `s.bechToBytes(hrp)` |
| Base64 | `kotlin.io.encoding.Base64` (`.Default` / `.UrlSafe`) |
---
## 4. Signing Events
### `NostrSignerInternal` (local key, JVM + Android)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.crypto.KeyPair
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.signers.NostrSignerInternal
val keyPair = KeyPair()
val signer = NostrSignerInternal(keyPair)
// Sign any EventTemplate
val template = TextNoteEvent.build("Hello Nostr!")
val signedEvent: TextNoteEvent = signer.sign(template)
```
### `NostrSignerSync` (synchronous, for testing)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.signers.NostrSignerSync
val signerSync = NostrSignerSync(keyPair)
val event = signerSync.sign<TextNoteEvent>(
createdAt = TimeUtils.now(),
kind = 1,
tags = emptyArray(),
content = "Hello!"
)
```
### NostrSigner interface (for custom signers)
```kotlin
abstract class NostrSigner(val pubKey: HexKey) {
abstract fun isWriteable(): Boolean
abstract suspend fun <T : Event> sign(createdAt: Long, kind: Int, tags: Array<Array<String>>, content: String): T
abstract suspend fun nip04Encrypt(plaintext: String, toPublicKey: HexKey): String
abstract suspend fun nip04Decrypt(ciphertext: String, fromPublicKey: HexKey): String
abstract suspend fun nip44Encrypt(plaintext: String, toPublicKey: HexKey): String
abstract suspend fun nip44Decrypt(ciphertext: String, fromPublicKey: HexKey): String
abstract suspend fun deriveKey(nonce: HexKey): HexKey
abstract fun hasForegroundSupport(): Boolean
// Convenience: auto-detects NIP-04 vs NIP-44 by ciphertext format
suspend fun decrypt(encryptedContent: String, fromPublicKey: HexKey): String
}
```
---
## 5. Creating Events
### Using typed event builders (recommended)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip10Notes.TextNoteEvent
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip25Reactions.ReactionEvent
// Kind 1 — Text note
val template = TextNoteEvent.build("Hello Nostr!")
val event: TextNoteEvent = signer.sign(template)
// Kind 1 — Reply
val replyTemplate = TextNoteEvent.build(
note = "Interesting thread!",
replyingTo = originalEventHintBundle
)
// Kind 7 — Reaction
val reactionTemplate = ReactionEvent.build(
content = "+", // "+" = like, "-" = dislike, emoji = custom
originalNote = targetEvent
)
```
### Using low-level `Event.build` DSL
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.Event
val template = Event.build(
kind = 1,
content = "Hello world",
createdAt = TimeUtils.now()
) {
// TagArrayBuilder DSL
add(arrayOf("p", mentionedPubKey))
add(arrayOf("t", "nostr"))
add(arrayOf("subject", "Greeting"))
}
val event: Event = signer.sign(template)
```
### TagArrayBuilder DSL methods
```kotlin
// In the DSL lambda:
add(arrayOf("tagname", "value")) // append
addFirst(arrayOf("tagname", "value")) // prepend
addUnique(arrayOf("d", "my-slug")) // replace all tags with same name
addAll(listOf(arrayOf("t", "tag1"), ...)) // bulk add
remove("tagname") // remove all with this name
```
## 6. Relay Client Setup (JVM / Android)
The relay client requires an OkHttp WebSocket builder (available on JVM + Android).
### Minimal setup
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.client.NostrClient
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.sockets.okhttp.BasicOkHttpWebSocket
import okhttp3.OkHttpClient
// Build the WebSocket factory
val okHttpClient = OkHttpClient.Builder().build()
val wsBuilder = BasicOkHttpWebSocket.Builder { _ -> okHttpClient }
// Create client (manages its own CoroutineScope internally)
val nostrClient = NostrClient(websocketBuilder = wsBuilder)
nostrClient.connect()
```
### With custom OkHttpClient per relay
```kotlin
val wsBuilder = BasicOkHttpWebSocket.Builder { normalizedUrl ->
if (normalizedUrl.url.contains(".onion")) {
torEnabledOkHttpClient // Tor proxy for .onion relays
} else {
regularOkHttpClient
}
}
```
### With custom CoroutineScope
```kotlin
val appScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO + SupervisorJob())
val nostrClient = NostrClient(wsBuilder, scope = appScope)
```
---
## 7. Subscribing to Events
### Normalize relay URLs first
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.normalizer.RelayUrlNormalizer
// Returns NormalizedRelayUrl (wrapper with validated wss:// URL)
val relayUrl = RelayUrlNormalizer.normalize("wss://relay.damus.io")
val relayUrlOrNull = RelayUrlNormalizer.normalizeOrNull("wss://relay.damus.io")
// Handles common fixes: https:// → wss://, strips whitespace, etc.
```
### Build a Filter
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.filters.Filter
// Fetch a user's notes
val filter = Filter(
authors = listOf(pubKeyHex),
kinds = listOf(1),
limit = 50
)
// Since a timestamp
val filter = Filter(
kinds = listOf(1, 6),
since = System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000 - 3600 // last hour
)
// By event tags
val filter = Filter(
kinds = listOf(7),
tags = mapOf("e" to listOf(eventId)) // reactions to an event
)
// AND tag filter (NIP-91)
val filter = Filter(
kinds = listOf(1),
tagsAll = mapOf(
"t" to listOf("nostr"),
"p" to listOf(specificPubKey)
)
)
// Full-text search (NIP-50)
val filter = Filter(
kinds = listOf(1),
search = "bitcoin lightning"
)
```
### Open a subscription
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.client.listeners.IRelayClientListener
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.client.single.IRelayClient
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.commands.toClient.Message
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.commands.toClient.EventMessage
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.commands.toClient.EoseMessage
val relay = RelayUrlNormalizer.normalize("wss://relay.damus.io")
val subId = "my-sub-${System.currentTimeMillis()}"
val filtersMap = mapOf(relay to listOf(filter))
nostrClient.openReqSubscription(
subId = subId,
filters = filtersMap,
listener = object : IRequestListener {
override fun onEvent(subId: String, event: Event, relay: IRelayClient) {
println("Got event: ${event.id}")
}
override fun onEOSE(subId: String, relay: IRelayClient) {
println("End of stored events from ${relay.url}")
}
}
)
// Close when done
nostrClient.close(subId)
```
### Global relay listener
```kotlin
nostrClient.subscribe(object : IRelayClientListener {
override fun onIncomingMessage(relay: IRelayClient, msgStr: String, msg: Message) {
when (msg) {
is EventMessage -> handleEvent(msg.subscriptionId, msg.event)
is EoseMessage -> handleEose(msg.subscriptionId)
else -> {}
}
}
override fun onConnected(relay: IRelayClient, pingMillis: Int, compressed: Boolean) {
println("Connected to ${relay.url} in ${pingMillis}ms")
}
override fun onDisconnected(relay: IRelayClient) {
println("Disconnected from ${relay.url}")
}
// other callbacks: onConnecting, onSent, onCannotConnect
})
```
---
## 8. Publishing Events
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.normalizer.RelayUrlNormalizer
val relaySet = setOf(
RelayUrlNormalizer.normalize("wss://relay.damus.io"),
RelayUrlNormalizer.normalize("wss://nos.lol"),
)
// Sign the event
val template = TextNoteEvent.build("Hello Nostr!")
val event: TextNoteEvent = signer.sign(template)
// Send to relays (handles retry + reconnect automatically)
nostrClient.send(event, relaySet)
```
---
## 9. Event Serialization
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.Event
// Serialize to JSON string
val json: String = event.toJson()
// Parse from JSON string
val event: Event = Event.fromJson(json)
// Null-safe parse
val event: Event? = Event.fromJsonOrNull(json)
// Specific typed parse (returns base Event, cast if needed)
val textNote = Event.fromJson(json) as? TextNoteEvent
```
---
## 10. Bech32 Encoding / Decoding (NIP-19)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.Nip19Parser
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.entities.NAddress
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.entities.NEvent
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.entities.NNote
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.entities.NProfile
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.entities.NPub
// Decode any bech32 entity (plain or nostr:-prefixed).
// uriToRoute() returns Nip19Parser.ParseReturn? — the parsed Entity is in .entity
when (val entity = Nip19Parser.uriToRoute(input)?.entity) {
is NPub -> println("pubkey: ${entity.hex}")
is NNote -> println("event id: ${entity.hex}")
is NEvent -> println("event: ${entity.hex}, relays: ${entity.relay}")
is NProfile -> println("profile: ${entity.hex}")
is NAddress -> println("address: ${entity.aTag()}")
null -> println("not a valid bech32 entity")
else -> {}
}
// Encode: ByteArray extensions from nip19Bech32/ByteArrayExt.kt
val npub = pubkeyBytes.toNpub() // also toNsec(), toNote(), ...
// TLV entities with relay hints (relays: List<NormalizedRelayUrl>)
val nevent = NEvent.create(eventIdHex, authorHex, kind, relays)
```
---
## 11. Encryption
### NIP-44 (modern, recommended)
```kotlin
// Via signer (preferred)
val encrypted = signer.nip44Encrypt(
plaintext = "Secret message",
toPublicKey = recipientPubKeyHex
)
val decrypted = signer.nip44Decrypt(
ciphertext = encrypted,
fromPublicKey = senderPubKeyHex
)
// Auto-detect format (NIP-04 or NIP-44)
val plaintext = signer.decrypt(encryptedContent, fromPublicKeyHex)
```
### NIP-04 (legacy, avoid for new code)
```kotlin
val encrypted = signer.nip04Encrypt(plaintext, recipientPubKeyHex)
val decrypted = signer.nip04Decrypt(ciphertext, senderPubKeyHex)
```
---
## 12. Common NIP Event Builders
### NIP-02 — Follow list (kind 3)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip02FollowList.ContactListEvent
val template = ContactListEvent.build(
follows = listOf(
ContactListEvent.Contact(pubKey = alicePubKey, relayUrl = "wss://relay.damus.io", petname = "alice"),
ContactListEvent.Contact(pubKey = bobPubKey)
)
)
```
### NIP-25 — Reaction (kind 7)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip25Reactions.ReactionEvent
val like = ReactionEvent.build("+", targetEvent)
val dislike = ReactionEvent.build("-", targetEvent)
val custom = ReactionEvent.build("🤙", targetEvent)
```
### NIP-57 — Zap request (kind 9734)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip57Zaps.LnZapRequestEvent
val template = LnZapRequestEvent.build(
message = "Great post!",
relays = listOf("wss://relay.damus.io"),
target = targetEvent,
zapType = LnZapRequestEvent.ZapType.PUBLIC
)
val zapRequest: LnZapRequestEvent = signer.sign(template)
```
### NIP-59 — Gift wrap / sealed DM (kind 1059 + 14)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip17Dm.NIP17Factory
// Creates sealed rumor + gift wrap pair
val (dmEvent, giftWrap) = NIP17Factory.create(
msg = "Private message",
fromSigner = senderSigner,
toUsers = listOf(recipientPubKey),
relayList = listOf("wss://relay.damus.io")
)
```
### NIP-23 — Long-form article (kind 30023)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip23LongContent.LongTextNoteEvent
val template = LongTextNoteEvent.build(
body = markdownContent,
title = "My Article",
image = "https://example.com/cover.jpg",
summary = "A brief summary",
slug = "my-article" // d-tag
)
```
---
## 13. Platform-Specific Notes
### JVM / Desktop
```kotlin
// jvmMain dependencies needed in consuming project:
// secp256k1-kmp-jni-jvm and lazysodium-java are transitive from quartz
// But you need JNA on the classpath for libsodium:
implementation("net.java.dev.jna:jna:5.18.1")
```
### Android
```kotlin
// androidMain dependencies (transitive from quartz):
// secp256k1-kmp-jni-android, lazysodium-android, jna (aar)
// No extra setup needed beyond the maven dependency.
// For NIP-55 (Android external signer apps):
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip55AndroidSigner.ExternalSignerLauncher
```
### iOS
The library produces an XCFramework named `quartz-kmpKit`.
```bash
# Build XCFramework
./gradlew :quartz:assembleQuartz-kmpKitReleaseXCFramework
# Output: quartz/build/XCFrameworks/release/quartz-kmpKit.xcframework
```
In Xcode: drag & drop the `.xcframework` into your project, then use from Swift via Kotlin/Native interop.
---
## 14. Event Store (SQLite, all platforms)
SQLite-backed storage in `commonMain` (JVM, Android, iOS — uses the bundled
androidx.sqlite driver) with full NIP support (NIP-09, NIP-40, NIP-45, NIP-50,
NIP-62). All operations are `suspend`:
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.store.sqlite.EventStore
val store = EventStore() // default DB file "events.db"
// Insert
store.insert(event)
// Query
val events = store.query<Event>(
Filter(authors = listOf(pubKey), kinds = listOf(1), limit = 50)
)
// Count (NIP-45)
val count = store.count(Filter(kinds = listOf(1)))
// Full-text search (NIP-50)
val results = store.query<Event>(Filter(search = "bitcoin"))
```

## 15. NIP-11 Relay Information Document
If you're standing up a relay on Quartz's relay-server code, serve your NIP-11
document with the **type-safe builder** — don't hand-write the JSON string.
**Package:** `com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip11RelayInfo`
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip11RelayInfo.Nip11RelayInformation
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip11RelayInfo.relayInformation
val info =
relayInformation {
name = "sot"
description = "NIP-50 profile search ranked by Nostr web-of-trust"
software = "https://github.com/vitorpamplona/sot"
version = "0.1"
supports(1, 11, 42, 50) // ints → spec-compliant [1,11,42,50] in the JSON
}
val json = info.toJson() // null/empty fields are omitted
```
Serve it at the relay root, branching on the `Accept` header (Ktor example):
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip11RelayInfo.Nip11RelayInformation
import io.ktor.http.ContentType
get("/") {
val accept = call.request.headers[HttpHeaders.Accept].orEmpty()
if (accept.contains(Nip11RelayInformation.CONTENT_TYPE)) { // "application/nostr+json"
call.respondText(json, ContentType.parse(Nip11RelayInformation.CONTENT_TYPE))
} else {
call.respondText("Open a WebSocket (NIP-01) or send Accept: ${Nip11RelayInformation.CONTENT_TYPE}")
}
}
```
### Nested objects, lists, and enforced limits
```kotlin
val info =
relayInformation {
name = "Paid Relay"
supports(1, 11, 42)
supportsExtensions("nip50-search") // supported_nip_extensions
countries("US", "CA") // relay_countries; also languages(...), tags(...)
nip50Features("profile_search") // the `nip50` field
// limitation { } — camelCase maps to NIP-11 snake_case fields
limitation {
maxSubscriptions = 20
maxFilters = 10
authRequired = true
}
// fees { } — each helper is repeatable
fees {
admission(amount = 1000, unit = "msats")
publication(amount = 100, unit = "msats", kinds = listOf(1, 30023))
}
// retention(...) — call once per policy entry
retention(kinds = listOf(0, 3), count = 1)
}
```
**Keep advertised limits in sync with enforced ones.** If you build a
`RelayLimits` for the server's policy chain, hand the *same* object to the
builder so what you publish can never drift from what you enforce:
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.server.policies.RelayLimits
val limits = RelayLimits(maxSubscriptions = 20, maxFilters = 10, maxLimit = 500, authRequired = true)
val info =
relayInformation {
name = "My Relay"
supports(1, 11, 42, 45)
limitation(limits) // == limits.toNip11Limitation()
}
```
To load an operator-supplied doc from disk or a string instead of building it,
use `Nip11RelayInformation.fromJson(json)`.
> `geode` (Quartz's standalone relay) builds its default document exactly this
> way — see `geode/.../RelayInfo.kt`.
