# BlockRelay BlockRelay is an open-source protocol that enables faster and more secure transactions on the blockchain. It works by creating a layer on top of the blockchain that allows different transactions to be bundled together and processed in one go. This reduces the amount of data that needs to be processed, which in turn reduces transaction costs and speeds up the process. BlockRelay also provides additional security by verifying each transaction before it is added to the blockchain, making it more difficult for malicious actors to tamper with the data. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
