The Framework

for Stake-Secured

Build in any language. Turn computation, data, or events into stake-backed attestations that settle across chains.

How Relay Works

Three steps from staked capital to verified attestation — on any chain

01

Commit Capital

Stake real assets across Ethereum, L2s, and supported chains. Your network's security scales with total stake — the more committed, the stronger your guarantees.

02

Compress Signatures

BLS aggregation combines operator signatures. ZK proofs compress attestations to constant size. Verification costs less than 3 DEX swaps (~380k gas) whether you have 100 or 100,000 operators.

03

Settle Anywhere

Verify Relay attestations on any EVM, L1 that supports BLS, or off-chain system. One format works everywhere — no chain-specific integration code.

Why Relay

Ship faster than building yourself. Pay less than running your own infrastructure.

Flat Gas at Any Scale

Verification costs stay constant whether you have 100 or 100,000 operators. BLS aggregation and ZK compression eliminate linear gas scaling.

One Interface, Every Chain

Deploy to EVMs, Cosmos, and L1/L2/L3s with the same integration. No chain-specific code, no custom verification logic per deployment.

Economic Security, Not Trust

Operators back attestations with slashable stake. No multisigs. No committees. No weak links — just cryptographic proof and capital at risk.

Days to Integrate, Not Months

Lightweight clients in Go, Rust, and TypeScript. One attestation pattern for any workload — bridges, oracles, compute, data availability.

Transparent Pricing

Pay for validator settlement and on-chain verification. No hidden fees, no surprise costs — budget accurately before you commit.

Audited and Battle-Tested

Security reviewed by Statemind, Bailsec, Cyfrin, and Sigma Prime. Production-ready infrastructure you don't have to build, secure, or maintain yourself.

Use Cases

One framework powers bridges, oracles, compute networks, and more

Bridges & Message Passing

Move assets and messages across chains with stake-backed finality. Skip the middlemen — verify directly with cryptographic proof and economic guarantees.

Learn More

Verifiable Compute

Execute computation off-chain, settle results on-chain. Operators attest to correct execution with slashable stake — like Docker, but decentralized and cryptographically accountable.

Data Availability

Prove data is available and retrievable across networks. Stake-secured attestations back every DA commitment with real economic guarantees, not just signatures.

Liquidity Management

Turn idle vault liquidity into productive credit with instant usability for slow-settling assets. Every liquidity promise backed by slashable operator stake.

Chain-Agnostic Apps

Transform source-chain events into portable attestations. Verify natively on Cosmos modules, EVM contracts, or off-chain systems — one format everywhere.

Oracles & Data Feeds

Deliver external data with cryptographic verification and slashing enforcement. Operators have skin in the game — wrong data means lost stake.
