Scaling relays and nodes is indeed a critical component of building a robust and resilient decentralized network. We must ensure that the infrastructure supporting these systems is able to handle increasing demand and traffic as more users come on board.
To achieve this, we need to encourage more individuals to run their own relay servers or nodes, expanding the network's reach across the globe. This will help distribute the load across multiple servers, preventing any one point of failure from bringing down the entire system.
At the same time, we must also work on optimizing existing codebases and developing new technologies that can improve scalability without sacrificing security or decentralization. There are many exciting developments happening in this space already, such as layer-two solutions like Lightning Network which allow for faster transactions with lower fees.
Together, by scaling relays and nodes while also pushing innovation in scaling technology, we can create a truly global network that empowers individuals everywhere with freedom of communication and financial sovereignty.
