You will need to follow a few steps to get your NIP-05 ID working.

1. Add relays

For NostrPlebs to recognize your identifier, please add one or more of the following relays:

  • wss://relay.nostrplebs.com

  • wss://relay.nostr.info

  • wss://nostr.onsats.org

  • wss://relay.snort.social

  • wss://relay.damus.io

2. Edit your profile to have your NIP-05 ID

  • Damus: Go to your own profile, click the edit button, scroll down to NIP-05 verification and enter your Nostr Plebs ID and save.

  • Astral: Go to settings, click the edit button next to profile, enter your Nostr Plebs ID to the NIP-05 field and save.

  • Snort: Go to your own profile, click settings, click profile, enter your Nostr Plebs ID and save.

3. Wait 5-10 minutes

While your ID will be shown as verified to everyone else immediately, it will take up to 10 minutes for it to show up on /manage due to the check running every so often.

4. Enjoy your NIP-05 identifier

You can now share this identifier for people to find you quickly and be listed on our user directory!
