Relayer Network

The Relayer Network is Glyph’s operational backbone.

Its main responsibilities are to:

• Make Glyph interactions low-friction for end-users where desired.

• Execute cross-chain messages required to update identity state (e.g., attest a wallet, rotate keys, update claims) and interact with apps.

• Coordinate commit–reveal flows and ZK proof submissions to on-chain verifiers.

• Provide a reliable delivery and ordering layer for identity-related messages without compromising privacy.

In simple terms: users and apps sign intent; relayers turn those intents into actual transactions and on-chain state updates.

Roles

Key actors in the Relayer Network:

• Users

  Own UnifiedIDs and wallets, sign intents, and control consent.

• Applications / Integrators

  Call Glyph APIs/SDKs to:

  • Request signals and claims.

  • Trigger identity actions (e.g., link wallet, update consent, verify proof).

• Relayers

  Operate infrastructure that:

  • Receives signed intents.

  • Validates them against policy and signatures.

  • Submits transactions to the relevant chain(s).

  • Optionally sponsors gas or charges a fee.

• Registrars / Issuers

  Specialized actors (could be apps, ecosystems, or trusted partners) that:

  • Onboard users into the system.

  • Issue specific claims or credentials (e.g., KYC provider, game operator).
