what's relay?

Relay is a cross-chain bridging and swapping protocol designed to enable fast, cheap, and seamless transactions across over 65 blockchain networks. It allows users to bridge assets like USDC instantly without fees in certain promotions and supports multichain swaps directly from origin to destination chains. Built by the Reservoir team, Relay integrates with popular wallets such as Phantom and platforms like OpenSea, Hyperliquid, and Base, emphasizing user safety through features like detecting malicious delegations and preventing unsupported chain interactions. The protocol powers interoperability for DeFi applications, NFTs, and perps trading, unifying token movements across EVM and non-EVM chains without intermediaries.
