+NIP-59
+======
+
+Gift Wrap
+-------------------------------
+
+`draft` `optional` `author:kieran`
+
+This NIP defines a simple method to protect event metadata leakage by using randomly generated keys.
+
+A gift wrap event is a `kind 1059` event which wraps another event with a single use key.
+
+This event kind can be used to wrap DM's or other events which are considered private.
+
+This is similar in concept to [Onion Routing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_routing).
+
+To wrap an event, sign it as usual then serialize it to JSON. This string should then be encrypted using NIP-44 with a different private key. 
+
+Next, add the signed payload to the `content` field of a new `kind 1059` event, signed with the same key used to encrypt the content.
+
+The key used to sign the wrapper and encrypt its contents can be created using any appropriate strategy:
+- For the strongest security guarantees, it SHOULD be randomly generated.
+- The sender MAY use `sender private * event id mod curve.n` instead of a completely random key. If this is done, the sender can "retain access" to the sent message and is capable of decrypting, deleting or otherwise operating on the outer message.
+
+A `p` tag for the recipient MUST be added to the `tags` field on the outer event. To protect recipient
+identity, this may be a regular pubkey, or one representing a group of people sharing a private key for
+decryption.
+
+The sender MAY copy tags from the inner event to the outer event. This weakens privacy guarantees,
+but may be useful to accommodate server-side filtering. A `k` tag MAY be added to the outer event to
+denote the `kind` of the inner event.
+
+Example wrapped event:
+```json

+
+The `content` is NIP-44 encrypted JSON string with the temporary key, this is the inner event:

+}
+```
+
+Clients can decrypt the gift wrapped event and can continue to work as normal.
