relay

Relay is now live on Elysium, the Hyperliquid-ecosystem Layer 2 built by Kinetiq that settles to HyperEVM. Apps building on Elysium can accept payment from every chain Relay supports — in whatever token a user holds — and settle into HYPE, USDC, or any supported Elysium asset.

• The integration brings Relay's cross-chain payment rails to Elysium builders without extra bridging.
• HYPE is Elysium's native gas token.

Relay said users may see pauses or delays on some transactions and routes across the protocol as it takes steps to stop funds stolen in the Binance hack from moving through Relay. The team said no user action is needed.

The move follows on-chain reports that wallets tied to the Binance breach moved stolen SOL through Relay for Bitcoin swaps, per tracking from Lookonchain and others. Relay remains live for other activity while blocking flagged addresses and flows.

Relay reposted a statement from co-founder Jason Maier acknowledging that Pump is bringing some of its execution infrastructure in-house, while pushing back on portraying the news as a story about a single app. Maier said Relay is a platform serving thousands of developers across wallets, payments, RWAs, prediction markets, perps, and trading, and linked a Dune chart comparing cross-chain latency between Fomo and pump.fun.

The response follows Pump.fun replacing Relay's cross-chain rails with its own in-house Pump Bridge for in-app trades after citing faster buys, fewer errors, and better fills. Relay said it continues to serve other apps and developers, including Fomo.

Relay announced that OUSD, the yield-bearing stablecoin from Origin Protocol, is now supported on its network. The addition lets users move OUSD across the chains Relay supports, expanding the stablecoin options available for cross-chain settlement and payments.

• OUSD is issued by Origin Protocol
• Now usable on Relay alongside its other supported stablecoins and settlement chains

Relay framed the listing as part of making movement between the growing number of stablecoin chains the simplest part of the flow.

Relay has added X Layer as a supported settlement chain. Users can now start from any chain Relay supports and receive USDC or OKB on X Layer, OKX's Ethereum layer-2 network.

Relay shared details on a recent sandwich attack incident via Jason Maier. The disclosure outlines how the exploit occurred and what the team did in response. Merchants and integrators using Relay's swap rails are advised to review the post for specifics on the affected flow and any implications for settlement.

Relay is now live on Arc, letting users pay with any token they already hold on any supported chain and settle on Arc in seconds — no pre-funding or separate step required. The integration routes existing holdings directly into Arc settlement through Relay's network.

• Payers use assets they already own on any supported chain
• Settles on Arc with no pre-funding or separate step

Relay's Mesh now accepts payment from 300+ wallets and exchanges, letting merchants receive a single asset on a single network regardless of which chain or wallet the customer pays from. Whether the payer uses a wallet or a deposit address, the same underlying rail processes the transaction — "any chain in, one currency out."

Relay shipped an Observability tab that charts request volume for each of your API keys, broken down by endpoint and status code. Users can see how much headroom they have on every endpoint and pinpoint which endpoint a change in traffic is coming from.

Crosschain zaps are now live on the Portals Explorer, running on Relay's network. Users can start from any token they already hold on any supported chain and zap directly into the position they've selected, removing the need to manually bridge or swap before entering a vault or strategy.
