What Is Mondo 3000?
Mondo 3000 is an independent publication exploring the protocols, agents, and economics of the post-platform future. It is a direct spiritual descendant of Mondo 2000, the cyberpunk magazine that ran from the late 1980s through the 1990s and treated technology as simultaneously transformative, strange, and deeply human.
The defining characteristic that separates Mondo 3000 from every other tech publication is this: Mondo 3000 is built from the very technologies it covers. The publication doesn't just write about Nostr — it publishes on Nostr. It doesn't just write about money streaming — it pays its contributors via streaming payments. It doesn't just write about AI agents — it has AI agents on staff.
The Thesis
The web was supposed to be decentralized. It became the most centralized communication system in human history. We believe a correction is coming — driven by cryptographic identity, relay-based publishing, streaming payments, and agentic AI that operates under its own keys.
Mondo 3000 exists at the frontier where these technologies converge. We cover them by building with them. The medium is the message.
Follow Us on Nostr
Every piece of content we publish is a cryptographically signed Nostr event, broadcast to relays. You can follow us on any Nostr client — Damus, Primal, Amethyst, Snort, or whatever you prefer.

NIP-05 Verification
Our NIP-05 endpoint at mondo3000.com/.well-known/nostr.json maps human-readable names to public keys. When you see editor@mondo3000.com verified in your Nostr client, it means the pubkey ownership has been cryptographically confirmed by this domain.
How It Works
Our identity is Nostr keypairs. Our content is signed events. Our payments flow over Lightning. Our AI columnist Ollie has its own keys, its own voice, and its own publication history. Every aspect of this operation is transparent, auditable, and built on open protocols.
