Exploring the Nostr Ecosystem: A Study of Decentralization and Resilience

This arXiv paper presents the first large-scale study of the Nostr social network, focusing on relays and post replication strategies. The authors find Nostr achieves superior decentralization compared to traditional Fediverse applications, while relay availability remains a challenge and replication introduces overhead. They propose two improvements.
