Good day SN. I will like to know the real benefit of relays on Nostr client applications. I requested for a verified NIP-05 address from verify-nostr.com. I received email that my requested has been processed, that I should add this relay to my Nostr account. I did just that but when I checked my Nostr account now, the relay has disappeared from the list of relays I have on Nostr. So what's the essence of all these relays.

Nostr doesn't really have accounts. I'm guessing you mean the relay disappeared from your client.
Relays are the r in nostr(Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays).
They relay your messages for you. They are your client's connection to the network. If you dont have at least one relay you will not be able to retrieve messages or send them. Most clients suggest certain relays to connect to. I'd start by adding several and also you can try different clients to see how your messages are relayed. Its early but getting better fast.
