Cold Root Identity v0.1.0 is live.
Nostr was never meant to run long term identities off a hot private key sitting inside a mobile app.
This repo ships a clean model that fixes it without changing the protocol:
offline root key
-> deterministic epoch keys
-> signed lineage event
-> clients follow rotations safely
All using standard NIP-01 events and ed25519 signatures.
No relay changes. No NIP changes. Just better key hygiene.
Spec, docs, test vectors, and a working Python CLI are here:
If you’re a client dev, this gives you everything you need to support safe identity rotation today.
