in summary DEED is:
- 64x faster on Startup.
- 35x smaller on Memory at startup.
- 8x smaller on Binary size.
- 62x faster on Verifying 10,000 events.
- 44x faster on Signing 10,000 drafts.
- 14x faster on Querying the latest 500 notes.
- 7x faster on Paging through 49,500 notes.
- 6x faster on Publishing 100 events to each of 4 relays.
- 4.9x faster on Gift wrapping 1,000 messages.
- 6.6x faster on Unwrapping 1,000 gift wraps.
- 5.4x faster on NIP-77 sync of 50,000 events with 1% missing.
- 2.5x faster on Local relay accepting 10,000 events.
- 4.6x faster on Local relay serving 32 clients at once.
- 5.2x faster on Local relay answering 200 queries on one connection.

zig-nostr: the Nostr protocol, natively in Zig
A native Nostr ecosystem in Zig: a foundational protocol library, utility libraries, and fast native apps like the Notary remote signer.
$0.023 for processing 1,000 notes from the global feed.
deed fetched and verified them, Jev judged the ones that were text (topic, substance, spam), and a small script ranked what was left.

Introducing deed: the Nostr command line.
A 2.3 MB native CLI with an embedded local event store. Starts in ~2.3 ms, signs and verifies ~31k events/s, and queries a 100k-event store in a few milliseconds.
Useful for:
• classification, ranking, and routing with Jev
• debugging and inspecting events
• scripting and automation
• testing clients, relays, and NIPs
• fetching once, querying repeatedly
• bots, migrations, and diagnostics
Runs well in:
• developer machines
• servers and VPSs
• CI/CD pipelines
• shell scripts and containers
• lightweight test and diagnostic environments
Built on zig-nostr. macOS and Linux, Intel and ARM. Windows coming soon.

GM, Town. ☀️
Below the Plaza, the Market is opening. People bring what they make, offer what they know, and trade directly with their neighbors.
