Relayer contract logic refers to the programmed rules and functions within a smart contract that govern the operations of a relayer. Relayers are off-chain entities that facilitate communication and transaction execution between different blockchain networks or between users and smart contracts. Their contract logic dictates how they receive, verify, and transmit data or assets, ensuring secure and accurate cross-chain interactions. Any flaw in this logic can compromise the integrity of the bridging process or lead to unauthorized asset transfers.
Context
The security and correctness of relayer contract logic are critical areas of focus in cross-chain bridge development and auditing, frequently appearing in security incident reports. Vulnerabilities in this logic have historically been exploited, leading to substantial financial losses in the digital asset space. Ongoing efforts aim to formalize verification methods and enhance the resilience of relayer systems to protect against future attacks.
