Introducing Ctxcn
Inspired by tools like shadcn and Cap'n Web, CtxCn is a command-line utility designed to make developers' lives easier.
ContextVM is a decentralized protocol that enables Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients to communicate over the Nostr network. It uses Nostr as a secure, distributed transport layer—leveraging cryptographic keys for identity, decentralized discovery, and Bitcoin-powered micropayments.
Rather than relying on centralized infrastructure like domains, OAuth, or cloud hosting, ContextVM allows anyone to run or access services using only Nostr and a internet-connected device. It transforms any computational service into a discoverable, accessible, and monetizable resource—while preserving privacy, security, and user sovereignty.

During the recent SovEng 5 cohort, we embarked on a period of intense experimentation with ContextVM (CVM), a technology that we believe provides a powerful new foundation for sovereign infrastructure. This article shares the insights, breakthroughs, and a Cambrian explosion of projects that emerged, painting a picture of a more liberated digital future.
We're excited to announce the launch of our new ContextVM Enhancement Proposal (CEP) guidelines! As ContextVM has grown, we recognized the need for a more structured approach to protocol evolution. This standardized process is designed to ensure that enhancements to the ContextVM protocol are well-vetted, thoroughly discussed, and properly documented while maintaining our community-driven approach to development.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the brand new ContextVM website, now live at contextvm.org! This is a major step forward in our mission to create a truly sovereign, resilient, and open marketplace for computational tools and services.
The digital world stands at a crossroads. We were promised a frontier of boundless connection and creativity, an open commons for all. Instead, we find ourselves in a landscape of walled gardens, governed by central authorities who act as gatekeepers to our data, our identity, and even our lives. New standards emerge, promising interoperability and a more connected future, yet they are often built upon the very same fractured and centralized foundations.
We're excited to announce a new update to DVMCP, bringing enhanced privacy and security with encryption for transport communication and the launch of private server discovery. These features are designed to offer greater flexibility, stronger data protection, and new ways to manage access within the DVMCP ecosystem.
We are thrilled to announce the release of the new version of DVMCP, packed with a host of new features and enhancements. The standout improvement is the support for the new specification, which brings loads of new possibilities and a future-proof design to accommodate MCP protocol as it evolves.
We are excited to announce the finalization of our DVMCP specification update, which integrates the latest Model Context Protocol (MCP) version `2025-03-26` and other improvements. This article highlights the key points of this update, and the differences between our initial vision and the final specification, providing insights into how our ideas evolved during the drafting process.
We have been working on a significant update to the DVMCP specification to incorporate the latest Model Context Protocol (MCP) version `2025-03-26`, and it's capabilities.
This workshop will guide you through exploring the concepts behind MCP servers and how to deploy them as DVMs in Nostr using DVMCP. By the end, you'll understand how these systems work together and be able to create your own deployments.
