Relayer

Relayers are permission-less and trust-less. This means that anyone can operate a Relayer for channels they are interested in.
The relayer forwards updates from the home to one or more replicas.
It is an off-chain actor that does the following:
  • Observe the home
  • Observe 1 or more replicas
  • Polls home for new signed updates (since replica's current root) and submits them to replica
  • Polls replica for confirmable updates (that have passed their optimistic time window) and confirms if available (updating replica's current root)
