It would be extremely desirable for Nostr relays to collect OTS proofs and splice them into the events they return. These proofs should be treated as having similar cryptographic importance as signatures.

Do any of the larger relays, say wss://relay.damus.io ( jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) ), provide any OTS infrastructure? If not, can they please do so?

Here is a quick reference for what an OTS-enabled relay should do:

I made an OTS-enabled version of the strfry relay.

The relay collects timestamp proofs from clients, verifies these proofs against BTC headers, picks the best verified proof for each reference event, and splices it into the event's JSON when a client retrieves the reference event over REQ.

So as a result, when a client requests an event, the BTC timestamp (if available) arrives with it, in the same response.
