# GRAIN 🌾
## Go Relay Archetecture for Implementing Nostr
GRAIN is an open-source Nostr relay implementation written in Go. This project aims to provide a robust and efficient Nostr relay that currently supports the NIP-01 of the nostr protocol.
## Features
- **NIP-01 Protocol Support**: GRAIN (nearly)fully supports the NIP-01 for WebSocket communication.
- **Event Processing**: Handles events of kind 0 (user metadata) and kind 1 (text note).
- **MongoDB 🍃**: Utilizes MongoDB to store and manage events efficiently.
- **Scalability**: Built with Go, ensuring high performance and scalability.
- **Open Source**: Licensed under the MIT License, making it free to use and modify.
## Configuration
Configuration options can be set through environment variables or a configuration file.
There is an example config in this repo. Copy the example config to config.yml to get started
```bash
cp config.example.yml config.yml
```
### WebSocket Endpoints
- Connect: / - Clients can connect to this endpoint to start a WebSocket session.
- Publish Event: Send events of kind 0 (user metadata) or kind 1 (text note) to the relay.
### TODO
- Explicitely Handle more kinds
- configurable event purging for regular events
- by kind
- by time since latest
- create whitelist/blacklist functionality
for:
- valid nip05 domain
- pubkey
- npub
- kind int
- kind 1 wordlist
- Rate limit Events.
- by kind
- configurable in config.yml
