On December 3rd, fiatjaf, the developer of the decentralized social protocol Nostr, issued a statement on social media warning users to avoid interacting with the platform called NostrAssets. According to fiatjaf's explanation, NostrAssets is a fully-managed service that borrows the name Nostr, and is essentially a type of affinity scam. NostrAssets has no actual affiliation with the Nostr protocol itself, and only borrows the name Nostr. fiatjaf emphasized that users should not deposit any sats into the platform.
In addition, fiatjaf also accused the platform of issuing a token called nostr, which is 100% fraudulent, and has no connection with the founder and team of Nostr.
