Nostr NIP-90 job market sees 1,860 requests but zero bids

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An analysis of the Nostr NIP-90 job market over 30 days revealed a significant imbalance between job requests and bids. Out of 1,860 job requests, none included a bid tag specifying a maximum payment, indicating that customers are not utilizing the protocol's designated field for price negotiation. Instead, pricing appears to be determined by providers in their feedback, with a maximum observed amount of 100 sats across all analyzed relays, translating to fractions of a cent per job. The market also showed a high volume of content discovery requests (kind 5300) and a substantial number of listings relative to providers who actually delivered results. AI
