+
+Live Activities
+---------------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+Service providers want to offer live activities to the Nostr network in such a way that participants can easily logged and queried by clients. This NIP describes a general framework to advertise the involvement of pubkeys in such live activities.
+
+## Concepts
+
+### Live Event
+
+A special event with `kind:30311` "Live Event" is defined as a _parameterized replaceable event_ of public `p` tags. Each `p` tag SHOULD have a **displayable** marker name for the current role (e.g. `Host`, `Speaker`, `Participant`) of the user in the event and the relay information MAY be empty. This event will be constantly updated as participants join and leave the activity.
+
+For example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 30311,
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "<unique identifier>"],
+    ["title", "<name of the event>"],
+    ["summary", "<description>"],
+    ["image", "<preview image url>"],
+    ["t", "hashtag"]
+    ["streaming", "<url>"],
+    ["recording", "<url>"], // used to place the edited video once the activity is over
+    ["starts", "<unix timestamp in seconds>"],
+    ["ends", "<unix timestamp in seconds>"],
+    ["status", "<planned, live, ended>"],
+    ["current_participants", "<number>"],
+    ["total_participants", "<number>"],
+    ["p", "91cf9..4e5ca", "wss://provider1.com/", "Host", "<proof>"],
+    ["p", "14aeb..8dad4", "wss://provider2.com/nostr", "Speaker"],
+    ["p", "612ae..e610f", "ws://provider3.com/ws", "Participant"],
+    ["relays", "wss://one.com", "wss://two.com", ...]
+  ],
+  "content": "",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+A distinct `d` tag should be used for each activity. All other tags are optional.
+
+Providers SHOULD keep the participant list small (e.g. under 1000 users) and, when limits are reached, Providers SHOULD select which participants get named in the event. Clients should not expect a comprehensive list. Once the activity ends, the event can be deleted or updated to summarize the activity and provide async content (e.g. recording of the event).
+
+Clients are expected to subscribe to `kind:30311` events in general or for given follow lists and statuses. Clients MAY display participants' roles in activities as well as access points to join the activity.
+
+Live Activity management clients are expected to constantly update `kind:30311` during the event. Clients MAY choose to consider `status=live` events after 1hr without any update as `ended`. The `starts` and `ends` timestamp SHOULD be updated when the status changes to and from `live`
+
+The activity MUST be linked to using the [NIP-19](19.md) `naddr` code along with the `a` tag.
+
+### Proof of Agreement to Participate
+
+Event owners can add proof as the 5th term in each `p` tag to clarify the participant's agreement in joining the event. The proof is a signed SHA256 of the complete `a` Tag of the event (`kind:pubkey:dTag`) by each `p`'s private key, encoded in hex.
+
+Clients MAY only display participants if the proof is available or MAY display participants as "invited" if the proof is not available.
+
+This feature is important to avoid malicious event owners adding large account holders to the event, without their knowledge, to lure their followers into the malicious owner's trap.
+
+### Live Chat Message
+
+Event `kind:1311` is live chat's channel message. Clients MUST include the `a` tag of the activity with a `root` marker. Other Kind-1 tags such as `reply` and `mention` can also be used.
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 1311,
+  "tags": [
+    ["a", "30311:<Community event author pubkey>:<d-identifier of the community>", "<Optional relay url>", "root"],
+  ],
+  "content": "Zaps to live streams is beautiful.",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+Common use cases include meeting rooms/workshops, watch-together activities, or event spaces, such as [live.snort.social](https://live.snort.social) and [nostrnests.com](https://nostrnests.com).
