i.e. Cloudflare. It works great. It is centralized.

No, not Cloudflare.

You can score member nodes and gauge bandwidth in the known network. Nodes can set their constraints accordingly and take more requests than others. Nodes that are open to edge & can handle a lot more connections can handle the bulk of onboarding requests.

This does not need to be a centralized process.
