OP_RETURN Social

URL: https://opreturn.social/
Category: chats_and_communities
Protocols: NWC
Products: Alby Extension

Description

A permissionless social protocol where posts are embedded in Bitcoin OP_RETURN outputs. Posts on testnet (Mutinynet) are free; mainnet broadcasts cost sats via Lightning.

Alby Integration (verified)

  • NIP-07 (Alby Extension): First-class onboarding option under Secure Start for key management and signing
  • NWC (Lightning Payments): Broadcast to mainnet buttons on each post trigger a Lightning payment via NWC

Credibility

  • Working web app with live feed, posts, replies, reposts, and notifications
  • Open-source: https://github.com/opreturnsocial/opreturn.social (70+ commits, active development)
  • Built by Roland (rolznz), an Alby team member
  • Protocol spec and developer docs at https://ors.dev
  • Published npm package: @opreturnsocial/protocol
  • Small but real user base (~15+ unique users in last 2 weeks)

Preview will be ready when the GitHub Pages deployment is complete.

NWC ↔ Alby Hub and Alby Extension ↔ WebLN should always be paired.
This adds the missing 'webln' protocol and 'alby_hub' product to the
OP_RETURN Social entry.
