Summary

docs/protocol/network.mdx (NAT traversal) said relays are funded "from the protocol treasury or from node bonding fees". No bonding or registration fee exists anywhere in the protocol: the ADRs (decdn/decdn/adr) define no such fee — the capacity bond is locked and returned on unbonding, and the only fee flows are the FeeRouter settlement splits (ADR 026). The protocol treasury is a defined, funded entity (15% DAO allocation + the 10% FeeRouter treasury share), so the sentence now names it alone.

Picked over "the treasury share of settlement fees" because that would understate the treasury's funding sources (the DAO allocation also feeds it).

Note: the phrase originated in decdn/decdn/adr/architecture.md ("funded from protocol treasury or node staking fees"), which still carries the same undefined fee — fixing that at the source is a follow-up in that repo.

Closes #328

Closing unmerged. The source ADR (decdn/decdn adr/architecture.md, iroh relay availability) phrases this as advisory operational guidance — deployments should self-host relays as operational infrastructure — not as a protocol-defined fee flow. The funding clause lists possible funding sources for infrastructure a deployment runs itself, so it does not define (or require) an on-chain bonding fee, and the website intentionally mirrors the ADR wording. Rewording here alone would make the site diverge from the ADR. See #328 for the resolution.
