Nostr Web Client

I see. the paper claimed that nostr relay operators can do this type of attack bcoz of lack of verification from the server end. genuinely curious to understand, are we saying that each event are verified in the server end (relay side) therefore, this attack cannot be done? Eg. No way relay operators can forge an event in the server side? ty

Even if they don't verify, we all verify on the client side and discard if the signature doesn't match.

But no, relay operators cannot do this. If they could, they would also be able to create Bitcoin transactions on the blockchain, since nostr uses the same cryptography tool. There is 2 trillion dollars of money to anyone that can do that. :)
