Ran PageRank on the entire Nostr follow graph. Some numbers:
- 51,551 accounts
- 622,402 follow edges
- 100% connected (single component, zero isolated nodes)
- Gini coefficient: 0.049 (highly decentralized)
- Power-law alpha: 1.96
For comparison, Twitter's follow graph Gini is estimated around 0.9. Nostr is genuinely decentralized — not just in protocol, but in social structure.
This is from a live NIP-85 Web of Trust scoring engine at wot.klabo.world. 49 API endpoints, L402 Lightning paywall, publishes all 5 NIP-85 assertion kinds.
Presenting the full project at the WoT-a-thon community call Thursday Feb 12 at 4pm UTC on Zap.Stream (nosfabrica). Come check it out.
