BTC+CKB+Nostr=Web5: Introduce Nostr binding protocol

In this paper, we propose a protocol that binds the basic data structure from the Nostr protocol to the CKB blockchain. Through such bindings, we allow the Nostr native data Event to inherit the features of UTXOs/Cells on the CKB blockchain, bringing new opportunities with the on-chain mechanism to the Nostr protocol. One potential use case is issuing native assets on Nostr.

The idea of binding is to create a 1-vs-1 mapping between a Nostr Event and a CKB Cell. The Event is used to define the details of your assets while the mapping Cell is used to provide guard of the ownership and other blockchain-specific abilities. Through RGB++, this binding Cell can be controled by a BTC address too.

把Nostr换成Farcaster是否也是可行的呢
