relayer
Signal transmission middleman
A relayer is someone or something that relays—that passes along or transmits information, signals, or objects from one point to another.
In telecommunications and broadcasting, a relayer retransmits signals to extend their reach.
In blockchain technology, relayers are nodes or services that facilitate transactions between networks: The relayer forwarded the message to the destination chain.
