What are relays?
Relays are like the backend servers for Nostr. They allow Nostr clients to send them messages, and they may (or may not) store those messages and broadcast those messages to all other connected clients.
The world of relays is changing fast so expect many changes here in the future. One thing to note, because Nostr is decentralized and depends on relays to store and retreive data, if you notice that your Nostr client feels slow, it's most likely due to the relays that you're using. It might be worth adding a few more relays (or removing a few) to your client.
Paid vs Free relays
Many relays are currently free to use. Given the costs of running a relay (paying for compute, storage, and bandwidth), most people expect that paid relays will be the norm in the future.
One major benefit of using paid relays now is the higher signal of users and notes on paid relays. The "proof of work" of paying for relay access is something that helps keep spam accounts from infesting the network.
Popular paid relays
An up-to-date list of paid relays with details on how much they cost and who operates them can be found on Relay Exchange
Where can I find a list of all relays?
The best resource we've found for browsing and assessing the speed of known relays is the Nostr.watch site.
What happens if all the relays I use stop working?
If all the relays that you have used in the past go offline, all your posts will be unretrievable. This is one reason that Nostr allows users to connect to many relays – this ensures some degree of backup. That said, if you're really interested in being uncensorable, you can and should run your own personal relay.
Should I run my own relay?
For most people, no, it's not worth the hassle. That said, if you're technical and want to ensure that your speech is absolutely uncensorable or want to run a private relay for a small group, then you can and should run your own relay. This ensures that you always have a copy of all your Nostr posts and interactions for all time. We're working on a guide to this but in the meantime, here is a guide from Andre Neves on how to set up a Nostr relay.

Xapo Bank, an international private bank headquartered in Gibraltar, has integrated the Lightning Network to improve its Bitcoin

capabilities.
On March 2, Xapo officially announced a partnership with the Lightning Network infrastructure platform Lightspark, which allowed the firm to implement Lightning on its platform.
The integration enables faster and cheaper transactions on Xapo, reducing blockchain confirmation waiting times and transaction fees on the original Bitcoin network.
According to the firm, Xapo Bank members will now be able to instantly pay for small purchases of up to $100 at any vendor accepting Lightning payments. High-volume transactions will not initially be supported with the integration.
The new integration was introduced on Feb. 27 as part of a new update for Xapo bank’s apps on the App Store and the Google Play Store.

According to Xapo Bank CEO Seamus Rocca, Bitcoin’s transaction confirmation can take up to one hour during periods of high usage, which makes BTC unsuitable for small daily payments like groceries. By integrating the Lightning Network, Xapo allows its customers to pay with Bitcoin without having to convert it to the U.S. dollar, he said.

Bitcoin average confirmation time has seen a huge spike in mid-February amid a massive activity on the Bitcoin network, with the mempool size reaching November 2022 levels. According to data from YCharts, BTC confirmation time hit nearly 600 minutes on Feb. 19.

Rocca also noted that Bitcoin payments are especially crucial during times of hyperinflation, economic uncertainty and political turmoil.
Founded in 2013, Xapo operates a private bank as well as a Bitcoin custodian and wallet regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission. The company is known for combining traditional banking with crypto by offering USD and BTC accounts in one place.
Xapo claims that, at the peak of its Bitcoin custodianship, the firm held more than 800,000 BTC ($18.7 billion) for family offices, funds and high net-worth individuals. Such an amount of Bitcoin is more than 4% of the entire number of all BTC in circulation.
