NIP Generic Lists

Abstract

NIP-51 assigns a new event kind to every list. A kind requires a merged NIP to be assigned, and any draft using an unassigned one can be overwritten by a later spec.

This NIP defines a single addressable kind where the list is named by its d tag, so a new list type costs no kind allocation and cannot be taken by someone else.

Event Definition

Generic lists use kind: 36205. The d tag names the list. Tag layout and encrypted .content follow NIP-51.

{
  "kind": 36205,
  "tags": [
    ["d", "<list-name>"],
    ["p", "<pubkey>"],
    ["e", "<event-id>"]
  ],
  "content": "<nip-44 encrypted tags>"
}
