Jack Dorsey-Backed Nostr Platform Collaborates with Zebedee to Create New Social Media Later – How Does it Work?
A rapidly growing decentralized Twitter competitor, Nostr, is collaborating with Zebedee to design a new social media.

Zebedee is a New Jersey-based video game payment platform with over one million Bitcoin wallets, supported by a $46.5 million VC fund.

As such, Nostra could be at the center of attraction for unsatisfied Twitter users.
"Zaps are inherently part of the social experience here. So individuals can support their content creators," added Neves.
