BCHNostr isn’t just a social platform — it’s more like a living ecosystem.
Each menu is a doorway into a different part of the network: identity, discovery, communication, earning, trading, and community building.
This guide breaks down every major menu in BCHNostr so you can understand what each one does and how it fits into the bigger picture.
My Profile
Your Profile is your digital identity inside BCHNostr.
This is where you define who you are in the decentralized world.
Here you can:
- Set your display name
- Add a profile picture
- Write your bio or “About” section
- Attach your BCH receiving address
- Showcase your posts and activity
Think of it as your personal “homepage” inside a decentralized social network — fully owned by you, not a platform.
Home
Home is your main feed.
This is where content from people you follow appears in real time.
It works like a decentralized timeline:
- Posts are not controlled by a central algorithm
- You see content from users you choose to follow
- Updates are streamed through the Nostr network
It’s your personal window into the BCHNostr world.
Explore
Explore is your discovery engine.
Here you can find:
- New users
- Trending posts
- Popular discussions
- Community activity
If Home is “your circle,” Explore is “the wider universe.”

Messages

In simple terms: You’re not chatting through a company — you’re communicating through a decentralized protocol.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks let you save posts for later.
When you bookmark a post:
- It is stored in your account’s local or relayed data (depending on client)

Closing Thought
BCHNostr is not just a social app.

Once you understand the map, you’re no longer just a user.
