Run a Custom Relayer
This section guides you through developing your own custom off-chain relaying service, giving you greater control and flexibility than using Wormhole-deployed relayers.
Benefits of running your own relayer:
- You can add logic to customize the delivery of messages
- You can perform off-chain computations resulting in optimized gas costs
Requirements for running your own relayer:
- You are responsible for developing and hosting your relayer
- You are responsible for paying target chain fees
- You are responsible for the liveness of your relayer
