-## Local Blob Cache
-
-`draft` `optional`
-
-This document defines the specification for a local blob cache server that can be hosted on `127.0.0.1:24242` to provide fast, local access to cached blobs or proxy requests to other public Blossom servers.
-
-## Server Address
-
-A local blob cache server MUST be accessible on `http://127.0.0.1:24242`. The port `24242` is chosen to align with the Nostr event kind used for Blossom authorization events.
-
-## Health Check Endpoint
-
-The server MUST respond with a 2xx HTTP status code (typically `200 OK`) on the `HEAD /` endpoint to allow local applications to easily detect if the cache server is available.
-
-The `HEAD /` endpoint MUST return a 2xx HTTP status code. The response MUST NOT include a response body per [RFC 7231](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7231#section-4.3.2).
-
-This endpoint enables simple health checks:
-
-```bash
-curl -I http://127.0.0.1:24242/
-```
-
-## Access Control
-
-The server SHOULD NOT require any authentication for blob downloads or uploads. All requests MUST be served without requiring an `Authorization` header.
-
-If an implementation needs to add access control, it SHOULD restrict access based on IP address to ensure requests only come from `127.0.0.1`. This ensures that local applications can freely access cached blobs without the overhead of signing authorization events.
-
-## Blob Retrieval
-
-The server MUST implement the `GET /<sha256>` and `HEAD /<sha256>` endpoints as defined in [BUD-01](./01.md#get-sha256---get-blob):
-
-1. The server MUST accept optional file extensions in the URL (e.g., `/<sha256>.pdf`)
-2. The server MUST set appropriate `Content-Type` headers or default to `application/octet-stream`
-
-## Range Requests
-
-To better support mobile devices, video files, or low bandwidth connections, implementations SHOULD support range requests ([RFC 7233 section 3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7233#section-3)) on the `GET /<sha256>` endpoint and signal support using the `accept-ranges: bytes` and `content-length` headers on the `HEAD /<sha256>` endpoint.
-
-See [MDN docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Range_requests) for more details.
-
-## Proxy Hints
-
-The server SHOULD accept [BUD-10](./10.md) query parameters `xs` (server) and `as` (author) hints on the `GET /<sha256>` endpoint to enable proxying blob requests to other Blossom servers when the blob is not available in the local cache.
-
-### Query Parameter Format
-
-When a blob is not found in the local cache, the server MAY use the following query parameters to attempt retrieval from other Blossom servers:
-
-- `xs=<server>` - One or more server hints where the blob may be available
-- `as=<pubkey>` - One or more author pubkeys whose server lists may contain the blob
-
-### Example Request
-
-```
-GET /b1674191a88ec5cdd733e4240a81803105dc412d6c6708d53ab94fc248f4f553.pdf?xs=cdn.example.com&as=ec4425ff5e9446080d2f70440188e3ca5d6da8713db7bdeef73d0ed54d9093f0
-```
-
-### Proxy Behavior
-
-When the server receives a request with proxy hints and the blob is not in the local cache:
-
-1. The server SHOULD attempt to retrieve the blob from the servers specified in the `xs` parameters
-2. If `xs` hints fail, the server MAY attempt to retrieve the blob using the `as` parameters by:
-   - Fetching the author's [BUD-03](./03.md) server list (`kind:10063`)
-   - Attempting to retrieve the blob from servers in the author's list
-3. If the blob is successfully retrieved, the server SHOULD:
-   - Cache the blob locally for future requests
-   - Return the blob to the client with appropriate headers
-4. If the blob cannot be retrieved from any hint, the server MUST return a `404 Not Found` response
-
-This proxy functionality allows the local cache server to act as a transparent proxy, automatically fetching and caching blobs from remote Blossom servers when needed.
-
-## CORS Headers
-
-The server MUST set the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` header on all responses to ensure compatibility with web applications, as specified in [BUD-01](./01.md#cross-origin-headers).
-
-## Use Cases
-
-A local blob cache server enables several use cases:
-
-- **Fast Local Access**: Applications can check the local cache first before making network requests to remote Blossom servers
-- **Offline Access**: Previously cached blobs remain accessible even when network connectivity is unavailable
-- **Bandwidth Savings**: Reduces redundant downloads of frequently accessed blobs
-- **Development**: Provides a simple local server for testing Blossom applications without requiring remote server access
-
-## Implementation Notes
-
-- The server SHOULD implement efficient blob storage, such as using the sha256 hash as the filename or storage key
-- The server SHOULD implement cache eviction policies (e.g., LRU, size-based limits) to manage storage
-- The server SHOULD validate that downloaded blobs match their sha256 hash before caching
-- The server MAY implement the `HEAD /<sha256>` endpoint to allow clients to check blob availability without downloading
-
-## Example Implementation Flow
-
-1. Client requests blob: `GET http://127.0.0.1:24242/<sha256>`
-2. Server checks local cache
-3. If found: Return blob immediately
-4. If not found and proxy hints provided:
-   - Attempt to fetch from `xs` server hints
-   - If that fails, attempt to fetch using `as` author hints
-   - Cache the blob if successfully retrieved
-   - Return the blob to the client
-5. If not found and no proxy hints: Return `404 Not Found`

+## Chunked blobs
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+Breaking large blobs into smaller chunks for distribution
+
+### Chunking
+
+The client MAY break large blobs into any number or size of chunks. although its recommended to use the size `1Mb` or `4Mb` for small and large chunks
+
+Clients MUST NOT pad the remaining chunk, If clients need privacy they should use random chunk sizes and optionally encrypt the large blob
+
+### Publishing
+
+Clients should publish a `2001` kind event after chunking the file in order to store the list of chunks
+
+The events MUST contain an ordered list of `chunk` tags with the sha256 hashes of the chunks
+
+The `content` field MUST be a human readable description of the chunked file
+
+```json
+{
+  "tags": [
+    [ "chunk", "7e668b56a58c7891e0cf263ea3f093b75eebade23d663a45aa9920f347b3d671"],
+    [ "chunk", "9b9c44a91396f19fd8700986eb0586dff2dcccf96c75bc2caefef302bcd78da1"],

+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Metadata
+
+The `2001` event MAY include additional metadata tags to help other clients know the filename, mime type or servers to download from
+
+Metadata tags:
+  - `name` Filename
+  - `mime` Mime type of file
+  - `size` Total size in bytes of the file
+  - `server` (multiple) Recommended servers to download chunks from
+
+### Examples
