What Is Relay Chain?

Relay Chain is a fast, user-friendly portal which facilitates cross-chain token transfers by aggregating bridge liquidity between the world’s leading blockchains. Its Bridge Aggregator empowers businesses to fully realize the benefits of using different blockchain networks by opening up new opportunities for accessing a wider range of assets, financial products, and services, all while maximizing capital efficiency. 

Put simply, our aggregator helps users find the best bridge with the lowest fees, saving time and money.

How It Works

Relay Chain is powered by a first-of-a-kind Bridge Aggregator, a sophisticated tool that gathers information from different sources to provide the cheapest option available for cross-chain transactions, comparable to how travel sites help find you the cheapest rates. Even better still, the aggregator works in the background invisibly, saving time and money for businesses and users without them needing to learn any new DeFi tricks.

We’re extending the lottery until March 2023 and it will run on both the Ethereum and Arbitrum networks in order to increase participation, and to award more winners, of course!

Here’s how to participate:

Three winning tickets will be chosen at random on the Ethereum and Arbitrum networks each Friday at 5:00 p.m. UTC. Lottery tickets for a given weekly lottery expire upon the conclusion of the respective contest period. That is, lottery tickets do not carry over from one week into the next.
All winners will be chosen via a random number generator and the prize pool is split evenly between the winners.
You must check the app to see if you have won! 😀Unclaimed winnings are forfeited after 30 days 🙁
All winnings can be claimed on Arbitrum
There is a 5 minute gap between a lottery drawing and the starting of the next contest period

There are two ways to obtain lottery tickets:

  1. Each bridge transaction automatically awards the user one lottery ticket. All bridge transactions qualify.
  2. Lottery tickets are available for purchase on the Ethereum Blockchain when connected to the Relay Chain dApp at a price of 10 RELAY tokens apiece. 50% of the RELAY collected by the dApp through these purchases is returned into the prize pool. The other 50% is automatically burned.
