Your relay, your rules. Haven bundles four relay functions into one binary, easily deployable on a cheap VPS in an afternoon.

TEE relays shift trust from operators to chip manufacturers. For most threats, that trade is worth making, with eyes open.

Can PIR hide Nostr queries from relays? Compound filters and subscriptions don't map to existing schemes. Here are the open problems.

Organizations already delegate key custody internally. A server-side Nostr client with permission management would be faster, stabler, and more honest than relay-dependent remote signing hacks.

Nostr implements Rothbard's anarcho-capitalist vision: cryptographic property rights, voluntary relay markets, and censorship-resistant communication without state-corporate gatekeepers.

Zero-knowledge proofs let Nostr users prove they're trusted without revealing their identity, enabling anonymous rate-limiting and reputation-gated relay access.

Replace DVM request/response overhead with simple replaceable events. Publishers maintain feed lists, clients just subscribe. No round trips, no privacy leakage

Nostr relays see everything - who connects, what they fetch, how often they post. Zero-knowledge cryptography can fix all three problems: Semaphore-based authentication hides which whitelisted user is connecting, private information retrieval hides which notes you're fetching, and Privacy Pass enables rate limiting without identity linkage.
