| description | The fastest and cheapest way to bridge & transact across chains |
Relay is a multichain payments network, designed to make swapping and transacting across 100s of chains delightfully simple. Since launching in 2024, Relay has served 5M users, processed 50M transactions, and driven $5B+ in volume across 85+ networks.
It combines two core components:
- Instant low cost cross-chain intents, powered by the Relay Protocol
- Comprehensive DEX Meta-Aggregation across 85 chains
This makes Relay a powerful solution for a diverse set of use cases:
Instant Bridging between 85+ Chains Same-chain & Cross-chain Swaps on Every Chain Pay for Txs with Tokens on any ChainTo see Relay in action, and test supported routes, try the Relay App.

Built as a full-stack solution for every layer of the multichain payments experience:
For everyone who wants to swap tokens across chains - The fastest way to go from any token to any token across chains. Swap ETH on Ethereum for SOL on Solana in one transaction — built on the same infrastructure that powers enterprise customers.
For developers building multichain experiences - One integration, 75+ chains, zero complexity. Abstract the hardest parts of multichain development:
- Bridge instantly between chains with predictable fees
- Swap seamlessly using meta-aggregation across all major DEXs
- Deliver payments-grade UX with gas sponsorship, guaranteed rates, and SLAs
Whether you're building wallets, marketplaces, or consumer apps, Relay makes crosschain payments fast, reliable, and invisible.
The network powering it all - The open system connecting users to relayers who execute onchain actions with maximum capital efficiency. Designed for low gas costs, rapid chain expansion, and enterprise-grade reliability.
Unlike traditional bridges, Relay delivers the reliability users expect from modern payments:
- 99.9% uptime across 85+ networks
- Fast execution instead of multi-minute wait times
- Automatic redundancy systems ensuring transactions complete
- Clear completion signals for apps and users
Chain Expansion: Alchemy, Conduit, and Caldera rely on Relay to provide payment rails to every rollup out of the box.
Chain Abstraction: OpenSea powers crosschain mints through Relay so collectors never worry about which chain they're on. Phantom collapses complex swaps into seamless flows.
Multichain Infrastructure: Apps like OneBalance route execution through Relay, letting users access opportunities across chains as easily as checking their balance.
For Users: Try the Relay App to swap any token across any chain instantly.
