- Apple has issued a warning to Damus, a decentralized social media app, over non-compliance with its policies.
- Damus’s “zaps” feature, which allows Bitcoin tipping, is at the center of this controversy.
- If Damus fails to update and comply within 14 days, Apple threatens to remove the app from the App Store.
In a high-stakes showdown between tech giant Apple and Damus, a Nostr client described as a “Twitter-like” platform, the future of the decentralized social media app hangs in the balance. The bone of contention? Damus’s “zaps” feature, which facilitates Bitcoin tipping on posts. Apple asserts this fails to comply with its App Store guidelines, throwing the app’s continued presence in the store into uncertainty.

The warning, delivered to Damus’s creators, stipulates that an update compliant with Apple’s guidelines must be submitted within 14 days of the warning. “To ensure there is no interruption of the availability of your app on the App Store, please submit an update within 14 days of the date of this message,” Apple stated. Failure to comply will result in the app’s removal from sale.
This clash represents a larger narrative of Big Tech grappling with the integration of cryptocurrencies into their platforms. It poses questions about the future of digital currencies and their co-existence with established tech giants.
Despite the current dispute, the future of Apple and Bitcoin, and indeed all cryptocurrencies, seems bright. Apple’s concern with Damus seems more about ensuring compliance with its policies than a blanket rejection of Bitcoin.
As cryptocurrencies continue to gain traction worldwide, it’s plausible to envision a future where tech giants like Apple devise comprehensive guidelines to integrate and regulate crypto transactions in a manner that maintains platform security and user trust.
