At Azzamo, ensuring a spam-free and high-quality experience across our Nostr relays is a top priority. To achieve this, we’ve launched the Azzamo Ban API—a powerful tool designed to centralize and simplify the management of blocked public keys, words, and IPs. This API ensures that all Azzamo relays maintain clean, efficient, and reliable operations.
