Instant Interoperability: Relay Surpasses $1B Milestone
**Relay**, the high-speed cross-chain execution and bridging protocol engineered by **Reservoir** and supported by **Archetype** and **Variant**, has officially processed over **$1 billion in cumulative transfer volume**.
Traditional cross-chain bridges often require users to wait between 5 and 20 minutes for transaction finality, exposing trades to market volatility and failed execution. Relay revolutionizes this experience through an optimized relayer network that executes cross-rollup transactions in less than **2 seconds**, enabling users to bridge and trigger destination smart contract interactions in a single atomic click.
Driving Factors Behind the Surge:
- **Ecosystem Integration**: Hundreds of leading Web3 consumer dApps, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi platforms use Relay's SDK to enable seamless multi-chain onboarding.
- **Deep Layer 2 Support**: Native support across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Blast, and Zora ensures rapid routing across the entire modular rollup stack.
- **Sub-Cent Fees**: Ultra-efficient contract execution slashes routing costs compared to legacy bridge designs.
Relay's user base has expanded to over 600,000 unique wallets, with early routing participants positioning themselves for upcoming protocol governance incentives.
