"Don't trust, verify" isn't a slogan — it's a way of life. Mostro wraps your messages in three layers of encryption.

NIP-59 Gift Wrap ensures that not even relays know who trades with whom. Here's how it works 🧵👇

1/ When you create an order in Mostro, your message is encrypted with the recipient's key (NIP-44). Standard stuff.

2/ Then that message gets "sealed" inside another event, signed with a one-time ephemeral key that's discarded after use.

3/ Finally, it's wrapped in a "gift wrap" — another event with a randomized timestamp (could be 2 days ago or tomorrow) so nobody can correlate timing.

Result: Relays see generic events. They don't know who's talking to whom, or when messages were actually sent.

This isn't optional in Mostro. It's the default. Because privacy shouldn't be a premium feature.
