Relay Chain is on track to post more data to Celestia in September than in the previous seven months combined. This growth is driven by activity across apps using @RelayProtocol for crosschain swaps, including @fomo, which has over 1 million registered users.

We are always looking for smart people to join us at @RelayProtocol on the solving team. If you like moving fast and working on novel problems in crypto value transfer, check out the job board in the replies for more details! feel free to send over a DM if you fill it out!

You can now see exactly how your requests are performing on Relay 👀 The Observability tab charts request volume for each of your API keys, by endpoint and status code. So you can: → See how much headroom you have on every endpoint → See which endpoint a change in traffic came from → Check what is happening now, minute by minute, not yesterday How it works:

TLDR: Relay is not compromised, nor does it ever do unlimited approvals. But there is definitely heightened phishing activity that you need to watch out for. More detail: - There are phishing sites out there that send txs through our router (which is basically just a multicall contract), to try and trick people. Make sure you are on the correct domain for whichever app you are using! - Because of an uptick in this activity, Blockaid is now showing a warning on our contract to try and warn people. They've whitelisted all the major legit sites, so it won't show on those sites. So if you're seeing the warning, you are either on phishing site, or another site needs to be added to the list (let us or Blockaid know) - We are planning to update our router to make it harder for phishers to abuse. To be clear, there is no protocol or contract vulnerability. Any multicall contract is open ended by design, and can be used by an attacker to mask a malicious transaction. We will just limit what ours allows, to make harder for bad actors to piggyback on it. It won't stop people landing on phishing sites (which is the actual problem), but will minimize some of the confusion

Relay integrated Circle Gateway to make crosschain payment liquidity easier to scale. Instead of pre-positioning USDC across every network, @RelayProtocol can use a unified balance and draw from it when destination-chain inventory runs low. For builders, that means a cleaner model for crosschain payments: less fragmented liquidity, fewer capacity limits, and a better base for large payment flows across supported chains.

Onchain payments only feel instant if the liquidity is already there. One unified USDC balance now backs settlement across every Gateway chain we route through. Less idle capital, more volume. That's what payments-grade looks like ✨

Two weeks since @RobinhoodCrypto public launch. $550M+ moved on and off the chain by users, via Relay. 1.6M+ transactions, arriving from 85+ chains, in any token, settling in seconds. Financial-grade chain, payments-grade access ⚡️
