Current is a social networking application that leverages the nostr protocol, allowing users to quickly create an account and import their Twitter follower list within just a minute. This seamless setup process makes it easy for users to transition to or incorporate the platform into their social activities without complex procedures.
When setting up their account, users generate a cryptographic key-pair and have the option to select a personalized Lightning Address and a verified NIP-05 username. This provides a customizable and secure identity within the nostr ecosystem, enhancing user control over their online presence.
The app emphasizes user control and security by utilizing Bitcoin's BIP-39 standard to create a human-readable backup of the nostr keys. Additionally, users can effortlessly import their Twitter contacts to discover friends already on nostr, broadening their network connections in a straightforward manner. Features like 1-Click Zaps enable instant interaction through Lightning Tips and Likes, fostering engagement right from the start.
Beyond social networking, Current offers functionalities such as easy import/export with other nostr clients, the ability to generate AI-created images that can be shared instantly, and Nostr Wallet connect integration which allows linking and interaction with other platforms like Damus and Snort.social. The app also includes PlebAI, providing access to AI agents for creating text and images, all within a privacy-focused environment that guarantees full anonymity, no advertisements, no email requirements, no trackers, and free relay connections. Users can also contact the team via their Nostr ID or email, and agree to the relevant legal terms outlined in their EULA and privacy policy.
