F02-NS: Yes
Rationale
The NIP-01 participant is the event author identified by a public key, not an assigned participant IP address. Clients still configure relays and use WSS/IP; relay service locators are not removed. This row credits author-namespace provisioning only, not peer-to-peer routing, relay independence or a new application layer.
Assessment method
Documentary review; no protocol execution
Source context
Primary specification / uniform participant-namespace scope
