 Yeah noise is cool, but this is TLS that should already work in browsers and other HTTPS clients.  If relays had ed25519 keypairs they could to wss:// TLS using them directly without certificates.

 I don't think it will work in browsers, I wish I was wrong though

 If anyone is interested, I am working on custom reqwest::Resolve and rustls::CertificateVerifier that allows reqwest to make https calls to Pkarr (pkarr.org), so anything that has TLD that is an ed25519 key, can have secure connection like ICANN TLDs.

Unfortunately, it will take forever for browsers to adopt that if ever, so a hack is necessary in the meantime.
