For what purpose? ASICs have chips that process the SHA256 algorithm trying to brute force guess the current nonce to complete a block.

Relays.. well relay and store information. They don’t require more than a basic computer as far as hardware goes. One of the beauties of Nostr is that relays can be cheap and abundant so decentralization and resilience go up.

It doesn’t need to hash sha-256 to be an ASIC. It just has to be a chip specifically designed to relay notes. Imagine if google searches were as fast as Bitcoin’s LN.
