To all the awesome Nostriches reading this: if any of you prefer email updates check out our Ghost page at https://blog.conduit.market. If you're #nostronly, then you rock. One day, we'll be able to do it all from here.
Our Hermit Period is Over
It’s been over 6 months since we’ve written to you… and there’s so much to share. Firstly: apologies for the silence. Going forward, expect more regular updates and even shorter letters. We just haven’t had time to write 3,000 word meme-filled soliloquies these days (and I’m told you don’t have time to read them anyways). That’s a good thing, it means we’re out of our pontificating stage and into our building stage. Speaking of that…
Nostrbama 2025
We’re excited to be presenting at Nostrbama 2025 in less than two weeks! On July 15th we’ll be up on stage in good company to give a short talk and live demo of our tech.
No ostriches will be harmed at the
Here’s the teaser for Conduit’s talk:
Commerce on Nostr ("de-commerce") is interoperable and unstoppable. Join us for a chat about this nascent movement's potential and watch us demo a smooth Nostr-powered checkout experience that competes with the big platforms.
This talk will be recorded and hopefully livestreamed too. We’ll post links when we have them! There’s no point in over-explaining to you here about the tech—we’re damn excited to just show you.
Our Landing Page is Live
To tell you the truth, it’s been live for a while but it’s finally polished enough for us to promote it.

This site does a lot more to explain what we’re building than we could ever do through a wall of words in a newsletter. Thanks again to our amazing designers at Santoral for their work.
Conduit is now a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation
We’re raising funds from mission-aligned investors to build tools for this peaceful decentralized commerce revolution.
Less soliloquies, more memes.
That being the case, it’s important to codify some guardrails to keep us aligned as the company grows.
Our fantastic legal team helped us do exactly that when we converted from a California LLC, to an investor-ready Delaware PBC:
Our mission statement codified in state-speak
This is a clear signal to future investors: Conduit is about more than shareholder returns. Our mission is core to our brand—and should be core to ANY for-profit company building on these protocols.
Gamma Markets Spec Reference Merged
This is an exciting one that has been months in the making. The e-commerce use case extension for NIP-99 developed by the
group was officially merged into the main Nostr protocol branch.This is a big stamp of approval from the core Nostr developers on what
, , , and have all been working hard towards.See You Soon
That’s only the tip of the iceberg but more than enough for now. We’d love to ramble on about the tech some more but would rather just show you at Nostrbama.
And once again, thanks to all of you who join us on Ghost.
Looking forward to chatting again soon.
Cheers,
