... and

On the protocol side of things maybe. I'm not sure if Satlantis is going to be as open as you think as the whole article is not very explicit about this.

Just three quotes and how they ring to me:

> with Nostr, it’s actually possible, for the first time — in a privacy and sovereignty preserving way.

Nostr is very transparent but that is changing. Follows and therefore the social graph is public for now but private follows are a thing already I think and many want to push for more privacy in nostr, so it might be a fading advantage.

> In the same way, value will NOT accrue to the protocol because It’s not supposed to — protocols are more of a commodity. The money is and should be made by those who leverage the protocols for end-user products, apps & services.

Is Satlantis about harnessing the social graph while keeping its user data in a silo or are they working on reviews being public nostr events? Making money will require some exclusivity of something or else, alternative clients will crop up and undercut you. Or what would Satlantis be selling?

> Instead of just “liking” a review, you can tip (zap) it.

This on the other hand sounds clearly like reviews being nostr events.
