+NIP-XX
+======
+
+Benchmarking
+------------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+This NIP is a specification for benchmarking relay servers online. The specification defines a kind `XXXXX` that is never displayed to the client. Benchmarking software must specify the name and version in the tags in the following format.
+
+```
+"kind": xxxxx,
+"client": "nostr-benchmark-v0.0.2", "31990:app1-pubkey:<d-identifier>", "wss://relay1"]
+```
+
+# Relay server
+
+Normally, the benchmarking software SHOULD delete the posted event after the benchmark has completed. Relay server CAN delete them automatically or one's own thinking.
+
+# Client
+
+Clients that are not interested in the data used in the benchmark SHOULD NOT receive this kind.
