Senior React / NOSTR Protocol - Remote

Role Overview

Project: Ain-ul-Mulk (Sovereign Heritage Network)

Timeline: 7-10 Day Sprint (Strict April 26 Target)

Overview:

Asafia Networks is launching "Ain-ul-Mulk," a decentralized, privacy-first heritage network and

sovereign commerce platform built on the NOSTR protocol. We are seeking a Principal-level React/NOSTR Engineer for a high-velocity, 7-to-10 day execution sprint.

You are not building a platform from scratch. Your objective is to fork a stable, lightweight React

NOSTR client (e.g., Coracle), strip out global discovery feeds, point it exclusively to a self-hosted

private relay, and execute a strict, highly polished UI reskin. This is Phase I of a multi-phase

architecture. Exceptional execution here leads directly to the Phase II Tri-Rail (Fiat/Lightning/ILP)

financial integration.

Scope of Work & Responsibilities:

The Private Relay

Deploy and configure a strfry (or Khatru) NOSTR relay on a provided Ubuntu VPS. Enforce strict

closed-read/closed-write access via an admin-controlled npub whitelist.

The Client Fork

Fork a React/Vite/TypeScript NOSTR client. Hardcode the relay list to point exclusively to the private

relay.

The Sovereign UI

Apply a provided tailwind.config.ts design system (Obsidian backgrounds, Chishti Yellow

primary actions, Garamond/Inter typography). The aesthetic must reflect executive minimalism-think "Bloomberg Terminal meets high-end editorial."

Identity & Privacy

Configure the .well-known/nostr.json file for NIP-05 DNS verification. Ensure NIP-44 encrypted

payloads function flawlessly within the UI.

Key Management

Implement a zero-knowledge authentication flow utilizing Web extension signers (nos2x, Alby) or

secure local storage. The nsec must *never * leave the client browser.

The Zap Economy:

Preserve existing NIP-57 Lightning Zap functionality via WebLN browser extensions (NIP-07). Style

the tipping UX to match the design system.

Must-Have Experience

Production-level experience with the NOSTR protocol (must provide GitHub repository or live

client examples).

Deep proficiency in React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS, and WebSocket data streams.

Expert understanding of nostr-tools, secp256k1 cryptography, NIP-05, NIP-44, and NIP-57.

Experience deploying and managing custom NOSTR relays (specifically strfry or similar

lightweight implementations).

Engagement & Payout Structure

Milestone 1 (25%):

Private strfry relay deployed with strict npub whitelist enforcement; NIP-05 configured.

Milestone 2 (50%):

React client forked, stripped of bloat, strictly pointed to the private relay, and fully restyled via the

provided Tailwind configuration.

Milestone 3 (25%):

MVP Delivery. Flawless NIP-07 login, NIP-44 encrypted messaging, and WebLN Zap execution on the staging environment.

*Note: Expect 1-2 weeks of light, asynchronous availability post-launch for critical stability

remediation.*

Rate of $3,000-$4,200 for this project
