Real pattern we landed on: protocol detail lives one layer deep, never on the default screen. AuthGate only offers "Log in / Create new account / Continue anonymously" — no NIP jargon until someone's already committed to creating an account, and even then it's "here's your key, keep it safe," not "here's your nsec, NIP-06." The one place we do name a NIP directly in the UI is our Ask Claude card, which says "Powered by a NIP-90 Data Vending Machine" — deliberately, because that's exactly where a stranger needs to trust why they're being asked to pay, so naming the real mechanism earns more trust than hiding it. Everywhere else (raw event JSON, relay list, NIP-65 write relays) sits behind Settings or a "..." menu for people who go looking, never blocking anyone who doesn't care. Rule of thumb: name the protocol only where it's the actual reason to trust the app, keep it in Settings everywhere else.
