 That’s what I thought. ✅ No local device or client storage at all. In effect, the relay(s) become a blind custodian(s).

 yeah, I think what calle is getting at is that the local device can cache the proofs locally too

 Yes, does it store them in the browser's local storage? Highlighter could show you your balance before you even connect to the relays.

 yeah, I mean, since they are just nostr events it leverages the same cache adapter I'm using for the rest of the thing, so the balance could definitely show before you're even connected to the relays -- right now I have the wallet configured to skip the cache -- but it shouldn't 🤝

once I remove that explicit "bypass the cache" the balance will load from the same REQ even offline

you'll be even able to do private zaps offline with this thing

 The use case I am exploring is someone who has zero physical security. They could have their phone confiscated at any moment or have to use someone else’s device. Local storage is great, but a risk in this context. That’s why storing everything as events in relays is so attractive.

 I’m exploring this approach for my custodial system. Better to store encrypted events (nuts) on someone else’s relay than have in my own database. More difficult to be strongarmed.
