+It solves the issue that Tor relay/bridge contact information is an unidirectional and unverified claim by nature.
This well-known URI aims to allow the verification of the unidirectional claim.
-It aims to reduce the risk of impersonation attacks, where a Tor relay claims to be operated by a certain entity, but actually isn't.
-The automated verification will also support the [visualization of relay groups](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/metrics/relay-search/-/issues/40001).
