TIL about....
In current technical usage, “Marmot MLS” usually means the Marmot protocol, which is a secure, decentralized group messaging system built on top of the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) standard and integrated with the Nostr ecosystem. �� MLS itself is an IETF standard for end-to-end encrypted group messaging with strong forward secrecy and post-compromise security. �Marmot protocol in briefMarmot uses MLS as the cryptographic core, relying on an existing full MLS implementation (for example OpenMLS in Rust) and then layering Nostr-specific logic and transport on top. ��The project includes a TypeScript-facing library (“marmot-ts”) and a Rust “Marmot Development Kit” (MDK), intended to make it easier for application developers to embed MLS-based secure group messaging in Nostr-style decentralized apps. ��

*The missing piece is a more developed discovery ecosystem. A Nostr client acting as a crawler, an indexer, and a curator could build the needed visibility layer. Some early versions exist, but nothing has yet become the widely used tool for this*
