composable nostr · bitcoin infrastructure
+BitBlocks is a set of composable building blocks for apps that can't lock anyone + in — no server of record, no account to close, no algorithm you can't swap. Each block does + one thing, signs everything, and runs on open relays.
+ +§ 01 — the premise
+Every platform you use owns the four things that matter: your name, your feed, your + money, and your right to be there.
+Your identity is a row in someone's database. Your feed is an algorithm you can't read. + Your payments run through a processor that can freeze them. Your account can be closed, + and everything you built inside it goes with it. You are renting.
+BitBlocks moves each of those to open ground: a key you hold, a feed recipe you write, + money that settles cryptographically, and a presence no host can revoke. The apps become + clients over public data — replaceable, forkable, unable to hold you hostage.
+§ 02 — the blocks
+Each block is small, opinionated, and independent. Use one, or snap them together — they were + designed to compose, not to depend.
+A portable Nostr identity — a familiar username and password unlock a key + that's yours, backed by public relays with an independent recovery phrase. No account server, + no password-reset email, no database. Any app already written for a NIP-07 signer works + unchanged.
+ login.bitblocks.network → + + +A policy engine with four independent dimensions — rank, show, interact, + transact. You supply the policy; it supplies precedence, composition, and a readable + explanation of every decision. Moderation and access control without writing the machinery.
+ gate.bitblocks.network → + + +A headless feed engine. You write the algorithm as providers and a recipe; + it sources, scores, mixes, orders, and explains — and contains no recommendation logic of its + own. Swap the recipe, swap the feed. The algorithm is yours, and it's legible.
+ feed.bitblocks.network → + + +Payment-verified delivery. Every required Lightning leg settles before an + encrypted payload is released — re-encrypted to the buyer's own key. Sell digital goods, + access, and capabilities in bitcoin, with cryptographic proof instead of a payment processor.
+ bitunlock.network → + + +The capability network for agents — Agent Plugins published, curated, and + installed over Nostr, by people and by the agents themselves. Every listing is a signed event; + installs verify on your machine. Tessera is also the proof the stack composes: it's built from + the other four.
+ tessera.bitblocks.network → + +§ 03 — how they compose
+Read left to right, they answer the full lifecycle of a sovereign app. Any block can stand + alone; together they interlock.
+Tessera is the worked example. It signs users in with BitLogin, moderates + with BitGate's four dimensions, ranks its feed with BitFeed-shaped recipes, and gates paid + plugins through BitUnlock — a real application assembled entirely from the blocks. Nothing about + it is special-cased; it's just a client over public events, which is the whole point.
+§ 04 — what holds it together
+Every action is a signed event. Provenance isn't a feature bolted on — it's the storage layer, verified on your device, not taken on a server's word.
State lives on open relays. Any client can read it; no one can close your account or delete your history out from under you.
The feed, the policy, the trust graph, the price — all of it is data you write and swap. No opaque ranking, no locked-in rules.
Each block embeds in a plain static site. The code that decides anything about you runs on your side, where you can read it.
Value moves over Lightning and settles cryptographically. Payment is proof, not a promise from a processor that can reverse it.
Vendor-neutral format, vendor-neutral distribution. Fork any client; the network is the events, not the front door.
§ 05 — for builders
+Every block is open and composable, with a dependency-free core and a static build. Start with + the capability network — install its skill and let an agent search, publish, and install over + Nostr — or embed a single block in a site you already have.
