Cross-Chain Relayers

Relayers are responsible for transmitting messages between different blockchains. They act as the communication layer between BeraChain and Ethereum. Their role includes:

  • Monitoring Transactions: Relayers observe transactions on the source chain, such as Ethereum, and report them to the destination chain (BeraChain).

  • Verifying Validity: They ensure the transactions meet all the necessary conditions (e.g., correct asset amounts, destination address) before forwarding the data.

  • Relaying Data: Once verified, relayers send the transaction data across to the destination chain, where it is processed by the corresponding smart contracts.

Relayers are critical to ensuring that messages and transaction details are properly transmitted between chains, maintaining the integrity of cross-chain operations.
