Short-form looping video on the decentralized web

Divine is an open-source platform for sharing 6-second looping videos, built on Nostr — a decentralized social protocol. Think Vine, but nobody owns it and nobody can shut it down.

Divine brings back the magic of short-form looping video in a way that's:

• Decentralized — No single company controls your content or social graph
• Open Source — All our code is public and contributions are welcome
• Interoperable — Your videos and followers work across any Nostr client
• Censorship Resistant — Content lives on multiple relays, not one server

Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a simple, open protocol for decentralized social networking. Here's how Divine uses it:

• Identity: Users have a cryptographic keypair. Your public key is your identity, and you sign all your content with your private key. No email, no phone number, no company owns your account.

• Content: Videos are published as Nostr events (kind 34236) containing metadata and links to the actual video files. These events are signed and can be verified by anyone.

• Social Graph: Follows, likes, reposts, and comments are all Nostr events. Your social connections aren't locked into Divine — they work across the entire Nostr ecosystem.

• Relays: Content is stored on relays — servers that accept and serve Nostr events. You can use any relay, run your own, or use multiple for redundancy.

Blossom is a protocol for decentralized media storage that complements Nostr. Since Nostr events are lightweight (just JSON), large files like videos are stored separately:

• Videos are uploaded to Blossom servers and addressed by their SHA-256 hash
• The hash is included in the Nostr event, linking the metadata to the media
• Multiple Blossom servers can host the same file, providing redundancy
• Anyone can verify file integrity by checking the hash

This separation keeps Nostr relays fast while enabling rich media content.

Divine integrates C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) to provide content provenance and authenticity verification. This helps users understand the origin of media and detect AI-generated or manipulated content.

Keycast provides OAuth 2.0 authentication with NIP-46 remote signing, allowing users to log in and sign Nostr events without exposing their private keys. It issues UCAN tokens for cross-service authorization.
