Validation Cloud

Purpose

Off-chain relayers in the validation cloud facilitate cross-chain communication by relaying messages from the source chain to the destination chain. They ensure seamless and reliable execution of cross-chain transactions within the VIA Labs ecosystem by picking up messages.

NOTE: Developers building cross-chain contracts do NOT need to interface with the relayers / validation system. This is fully abstracted. See HERE for how to implement cross-chain contracts.

Functionality

• Execution Handling: Triggers the messageProcess() on the destination contract, ensuring correct operation execution.

• Gas Reimbursement: An on-chain component pays initial gas fees for transactions. Destination contracts reimburse for these fees. More details are available in the Fees section of the documentation.
