Nostr WOT Extension by Nostr WoT

Nostr WoT Extension exposes Web of Trust queries to any Nostr web app.

WHAT IT DOES

Answers one simple question: "How many hops separate me from this pubkey?"

Web apps can use window.nostr.wot to:
- Get distance from you to any pubkey
- Check if someone is within N hops of your social graph
- Query distance between any two pubkeys
- Calculate trust scores based on distance and path count
- Batch query multiple pubkeys at once
- Find common follows between you and another user

TRUST SCORING

Beyond simple hop count, the extension calculates a trust score (0-1) that factors in:
- Social distance (closer = higher score)
- Number of independent paths (more paths = stronger connection)
- Configurable weights for each hop level

MODES

• Remote: Fast queries via WoT Oracle API
• Local: Index your follow graph locally for privacy and offline use
• Hybrid: Local first, remote fallback

PRIVACY

• Local mode keeps all data in your browser (IndexedDB)
• No tracking, no analytics, no data collection
• You control which oracle you trust in remote mode

FOR DEVELOPERS

if (window.nostr?.wot) {
const hops = await window.nostr.wot.getDistance(targetPubkey);
const score = await window.nostr.wot.getTrustScore(targetPubkey);
const inWoT = await window.nostr.wot.isInMyWoT(targetPubkey, 2);
}

Works alongside existing NIP-07 extensions (Alby, nos2x, etc.)
