Abstract generation in progress

A new era of cross-chain liquidity integration begins. Relay has secured major funding led by key investment firms Architectype and Union Square Ventures. This capital will be used to support the full deployment of their innovative cross-chain payment infrastructure, “Relay Chain.”

Relay Chain: Integrating Distributed Liquidity

The biggest challenge in the cryptocurrency market is the fragmentation of liquidity across multiple blockchains. Relay’s developed cross-chain bridge aggregator directly addresses this issue. Relay Chain is positioned as the core technology platform enabling low-cost settlement and asset exchange between different chains.

Revolutionizing Transaction Efficiency and Capital Allocation

Traditional bridge technologies have involved extra time and costs per transaction. Relay Chain significantly improves this inefficiency by utilizing an order-based settlement mechanism, dramatically enhancing users’ capital efficiency. Shorter transaction delays and reduced fees allow more assets to move seamlessly across multiple chains.

Industry Position and Future Outlook

Support from major investors reflects market confidence in cross-chain payment technology. Relay’s approach has the potential to accelerate the growth of the DeFi ecosystem as blockchain interoperability advances. With this Series B funding, Relay will further strengthen its technological foundation for next-stage development and market expansion.
