Overview

Decentralized social built with Nostr and powered by Starknet account abstraction.

Origin story

The name "Joyboy" is inspired by the character from the manga series "One Piece". Joyboy is a mysterious figure from the Void Century who left behind a treasure called the "One Piece". What if the treasure are the friends we made along the way? A decentralized social network should be a treasure trove of memories and connections.

Also Joyboy refers to a figure in the Caribbean mythology, a dancing god with a constant smile.

Joyboy is considered as the personification of freedom and joy.

Yes! This is what social networks should be about. A place where you can be yourself, express your thoughts and feelings, and connect with others.

Freedom requires censorship resistance, and Nostr provides exactly that.

Roadmap

• Cairo implementation of Nostr signature verification
• Starknet account contract implementation, controlled by Nostr keypair
• Simple frontend to sign and verify messages (using a browser extension lke Flamingo or any other NIP-07 compatible extension, list can be found here)
• Joyboy landing page
• SocialPay feature to send and receive tips through Nostr signed messages
• Implement a full Nostr client application with Starknet integration
• Run Nostr relay server
• Crossover with Vault to bring Social features to the Vault application
