Protocol

• marmot — The Marmot Protocol specification. MLS + Nostr for efficient, decentralized, end-to-end encrypted group messaging.

Applications

• whitenoise — White Noise Flutter app. Private, decentralized messenger built on Nostr and MLS. No phone. No email. No compromise.
• whitenoise-cli — Command-line interface for White Noise, part of the whitenoise-rs workspace.
• wn-tui — Terminal UI client for White Noise.
• agentnoise — Native desktop helper for using White Noise as the control surface for local Codex and Claude sessions. Rust-first, no Node/npm/bun in the trusted bridge path.
• pika — Marmot-based encrypted messaging app.
• tubestr-v2 — Private family video sharing for parents and kids, built on Nostr and Marmot.
• Vector — Peer-to-peer multiplayer game using Nostr for discovery, Marmot for encryption, and Iroh for QUIC transport.
• Scramble — Nostr-based encrypted messenger with MLS group encryption.
• openclaw-marmot — OpenClaw channel plugin for Marmot Protocol. End-to-end encrypted Nostr messaging via MLS.
• amethyst — Nostr client for Android with embedded MDK, aligned with MIP-01 and MIP-05.
• amy — CLI for Marmot/MLS group operations, driven by the Amethyst implementation.

SDKs & Libraries

• mdk — Marmot Development Kit. The core SDK for building Marmot-compatible apps.
• whitenoise-rs — The Rust core library powering White Noise.
• mdk-kotlin — Kotlin bindings for the MDK.
• mdk-python — Python bindings for the MDK.
• mdk-ruby — Ruby bindings for the MDK.
• mdk-swift — Swift bindings for the MDK.
• mdk-web — Web/WASM bindings for the MDK.
• marmot-ts — TypeScript implementation of the Marmot Protocol.
• quartz — Nostr library for Kotlin Multiplatform, used by Amethyst. Includes an embedded MDK implementation aligned with MIP-01 and MIP-05.
• marmot-cs — C# MDK implementation. Secure group messaging with MLS (RFC 9420) and Nostr.
