Azzamo

Azzamo provides reliable infrastructure and services for the Nostr ecosystem, focused on performance, spam resistance, and Bitcoin-native payments.

It combines relays, media hosting, premium access, and public APIs into a single platform designed for users, creators, and developers who want Nostr to work without friction.

What Azzamo offers

Azzamo is built around a few clear pillars:

Nostr Relays

Fast, stable relays with strong spam resistance and long-term storage.

  • Free relay for reading and limited writing
  • Premium relay with time-based access and no rate limits
  • Notes are not locked in and propagate to other relays
  • Focus on signal over noise

Azzamo Premium

A Bitcoin-native access model for Nostr services.

  • Pay with Lightning
  • Time-based access instead of subscriptions
  • One premium balance works across Azzamo services
  • No ads, no trackers, no dark patterns

Azzamo Blossom

Media hosting for the Nostr ecosystem.

  • NIP-96 compatible uploads
  • Content-addressed storage (SHA256)
  • Images, video, and audio
  • Transparent CDN for fast global delivery
  • Clear storage limits and retention rules

Public APIs

APIs designed to be composable and predictable.

  • Cashu redeem and payment flows
  • Ban and reporting API for moderation tooling
  • Clear rate limits and error handling
  • Designed for automation and integration

What Azzamo is not

To set expectations clearly:

  • Azzamo is not a closed platform
  • Azzamo does not lock content or identities
  • Azzamo is not “anything goes” infrastructure
  • Azzamo does not sell user data or behavior

Spam resistance, moderation, and payment-based filtering are intentional design choices, not side effects.

Who this is for

Azzamo is useful if you are:

  • A Nostr user who wants reliable relays and media uploads
  • A creator who wants posts and media to stay online
  • A developer integrating Nostr, Lightning, or Cashu
  • A business that needs predictable Nostr infrastructure

If you want zero rules and zero guarantees, Azzamo is probably not a good fit.

Getting started

Most users should start here:

  • Sign in with Nostr
  • Understand the difference between free and premium
  • Connect your client to the Azzamo relays
