That's already possible, it's the whole idea behind CVM and Relatr. You can easily integrate it into any Nostr client without needing a service website. All you have to do is call the service using its pubkey and perform a search or look up an individual pubkey. So, if a Nostr client integrates this feature, users could specify their own instance for a personalized Web of Trust computation, or use the default Relatr service, or any other public instance. The only difference is the pubkey of the service. I've already heard from people who are implementing it in their clients.

My understanding of relatr, and correct me if I’m wrong, is that the client integrates relatr, and scores are calculated by the client. We’re envisioning that the scores are calculated by a WoT Service Provider independently of clients, then communicated to clients using Trusted Assertions or some other method, with the rationale spelled out below. btw I would love to see someone use relatr as the core engine of a WoT Service Provider.

Yes, but the cool part is to specify the API so that any WoT that is not based on the Relatr codebase can also be used. We can do it blossom style or nostr wallet connect style. Either way, we will need something defined to avoid clients having to hard code each WoT implementation out there.
