  • HTML

  • durable archiving of profile metadata
• optional NIP-05 identity support included
• future support for direct messages with arbitrarily large attachments
• unlimited software updates (access to the latest version of Continuum)

Continuum Pro is a one-time support purchase, not a subscription.

§Optional: NIP-05 Identity

(standalone offering — for those not on Continuum Pro)

• 25,000 sats / year
• name@mycontinuum.xyz identifier
• hosted .well-known/nostr.json
• mapped to your existing npub
• non-custodial (no keys held)
• compatible with all major Nostr clients

NIP-05 is not required to use Continuum.
It is provided for those who want a verifiable, human-readable identity without relying on custodial platforms.

§Continuum Archiving Service — 5,000 sats / month or 50,000 sats / year

(for those not on Continuum Pro)

Includes:

• durable archiving of all notes
• durable archiving of long-form articles
• durable archiving of profile metadata

This option exists for cases where the full Continuum Pro setup is not feasible.

§Yearly maintenance — $250 (optional)

• setup assistance
• modest ongoing help keeping Continuum running smoothly

No one is required to pay yearly maintenance. All Continuum Pro users receive unlimited software updates regardless.

§Do I need Pro?

No — not everyone does.

• If you mainly read notes and occasional free articles, you don’t need Pro.
• If you only want access to a specific paid article, 500 sats is enough.

Yes — Pro is likely for you if:

• you want long-term, unencrypted access to all paid articles
• you want archiving handled without a recurring service fee
• you manage or plan to manage multiple npub identities
• you want optional NIP-05 identity support without managing hosting yourself
• you want tools that work without relying on third-party clients
• you prefer ownership and durability over subscriptions and platforms

Continuum is not a subscription platform.
It’s infrastructure and support for durable, sovereign publishing.
