Relay

Relay (relay.link) is a payments infrastructure company that aims to bring fiat-rail-style convenience and reliability to onchain transactions. Its documentation describes a single integration point through which developers can reach every supported blockchain, with tooling intended for enterprise-grade execution. Core use cases listed by the company are accepting onchain payments (letting customers pay from supported chains while the application settles in its preferred asset), bridging assets between supported chains in a single transaction flow, same-chain and cross-chain swaps, and cross-chain calls in which a user performs an action on one chain while paying with assets held on another.

The offering is described as a full-stack solution comprising an API, a consumer application and the underlying interoperability infrastructure. Developer entry points include a quickstart for obtaining a quote and executing a first transaction, an API reference, and a Relay Dashboard where users create accounts. The company positions its approach as treating interoperability as a payments problem rather than a bridging problem, emphasizing reliability, low cost and speed.

Business model

Relay supplies cross-chain payments and interoperability infrastructure that other teams integrate via an API, alongside a consumer-facing application; the sources do not disclose pricing or how revenue is collected.
