At this point, Haven is robust, battle tested software used by hundreds of relay operators. I’m sure that, other than for potencial incompatible changes to the Nostr protocol, it should remain solid for, well, longer than it has even existed.
The V2 / nostrlib version that I often spoke about will not happen, at least not for now, and likely not under mine or utxo’s guidance. But, as utxo said, I have been working hard to give users most of the features they asked for before putting Haven into maintenance mode. Well, it is finally time... I will, of course, still keep an eye on GitHub for bugs, and I’m sure that the many developers who forked and contributed to Haven will maintain their forks and carry the torch. Maybe they will elect a new official fork, or at least keep their versions alive until users are ready to move on to the future vision that utxo, Fiatjaf, and other Nostr developers are building. At Nostr’s pace, this should not take long anyway.
Before I NIP-62 and NIP-09 my Nostr presence out of existence (at least on well behaved relays willing to respect my wishes), I just wanted to leave my contact details for anyone who would like to stay in touch.
I’ll keep my presence on ActivityPub / Mastodon, although I do not post there much:

I’m also still on cloud fodder (nprofile…7nrg)’s noirc.net (nick: anthony) and in some Libera.Chat (aaccioly) channels. If you are an IRC enthusiast, I’m happy to chat there.
Finally, I’m on Signal / Molly if you would like to speak directly:

I’ve met some incredible people on Nostr and would genuinely appreciate ways to stay in touch outside of it.

quoting1.5 years ago I released the #haven sovereign relay to the network. Since then it has grown to be the #2 relay implementation on nostr and something I'm very proud of.

Today, we released the final version v1.2, and is now feature complete.
A massive thanks to the many contributors to the project, especially nprofile1qqswa8vhnelpgx9f7arjhtuzmjtqs2sdgfgmw77tzu9xankf87kl7eqprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qgmwaehxw309a5xzan9dchxzcmrd9hkc7fwwdhkx6tpdshszxnhwden5te0wahhgtnrdajxjmn8v9ex2mnp9e6x7up0ncu2pk (nprofile…u2pk) who carried the project as the lead maintainer. Thank you for everything, Anthony!
And a huge thanks to the hundreds of relay operators who provided us with tons of feedback and love.
Going forward, haven will be in maintenance mode and will only receive bug fixes.
I have Many more exciting freedom tech projects to come, 2026 will be be insane for nostr!!
