Freeport — Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: 9 July 2026

Freeport is an open protocol and open-source software. Anyone can run their own relay, notification server, or bridge. This policy applies to the public instance we operate: the web app at freeport.trinh.uk, the notification/MCP server at nostr-mcp.trinh.uk (including its Telegram bridge and bot), and any Nostr relay we host. It does not — and cannot — govern the wider Nostr network or instances run by others.

Not allowed on our infrastructure

• Buying, selling, or advertising illegal goods or services — including drugs, weapons, stolen goods or data, and counterfeit items.
• Any content sexualizing or exploiting minors. Zero tolerance; reported to authorities where the law requires.
• Fraud and scams — phishing, fake listings, payment fraud, impersonation.
• Harassment, threats of violence, or doxxing of any person.
• Spam and platform abuse (flooding, Sybil swarms, deliberately poisoning market feeds).

What we do about it

Listings on Freeport are public. Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted — we cannot read them, and never will be able to. When a specific violation on our infrastructure is reported to us in good faith, we can and will:

• Block the offending keys from our relay (write policy), notification server, market feeds, and Telegram bridge — including suspending or deleting custodial guest accounts.
• Drop the offending listings from surfaces we serve.
• Report to law enforcement where legally required.

Because Nostr is decentralized, removal from our infrastructure does not erase content from the wider network — other relays are operated by other people, under their own policies.

Reporting

• In the app: use the Report button on any listing.
• By email: [email protected] with subject ABUSE REPORT. Include the listing/pubkey (npub) and what you observed. We review reports promptly and in good faith.

Self-hosted instances

Freeport's code is MIT-licensed and designed to be self-hosted. Operators of their own relays, notifiers, or bridges are responsible for their own instances and applicable laws. This policy binds only the public instance listed above.

Freeport takes no fees, holds no funds, and processes no payments. Trades are agreements between the two people making them; users are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to them.
