How to Use Relay Protocol with Enkrypt
When bridging assets, it's always good to know what your options are. Relay Protocol enables bridging across EVM chains while Enkrypt makes it easy to manage everything in one wallet. Check out our guide for using Relay Bridge with Enkrypt!
Relay is a cross-chain payment system that allows for fast, low-cost bridging and cross-chain execution. It operates by connecting users with relayers, which are financial agents who act on their behalf across chains for a modest charge. Relay is intended to reduce gas prices and execution delay, making it suitable for price-sensitive applications such as payments, bridging, NFT minting, and gas abstraction. It is compatible with any chain and requires only one relayer.
Enkrypt is a multichain, non-custodial, and open-source web3 browser wallet built by the team behind MEW (MyEtherWallet). With Enkrypt, users and developers can generate accounts, manage tokens and NFTs, and interact with DApps on Base, Ethereum, Optimism, as well as Bitcoin, Substrate and any EVM chains.
