and oh look that’s what Noswhere SmartCache is going to do

it can automatically detect popular data and cache it on edge relays

any sort of caching more complex is actually more of a performance hit than benefit

Yes, but I do not think that _every_ relay needs this capability. Different use cases are free to have different architectures, so long as they can communicate according to NIP-01. That's the brilliance of Nostr.

Define the shape of the data and the most-basic way to request it, and keep the implementation open.

exactly... so you define relay groups and they act as caches, and you also need to define limited scopes that each relay is given as an entry point to clients

probably a lot of this can be made dynamic
