Prepare Fund

  1. Make sure that you have enough BNB in your account. You can get from faucet

If you haven’t created your account yet, please follow these guides to create one first.

  • 100BNB for relayer register
  • More than 50BNB for transaction fee

Tip

Currently the bsc-relayer code is not fully prepared. Some features like db persistence, alert, prometheus monitor are still under development. So please don’t modify the configuration about db_config, alert_config, instrumentation_config, admin_config

Start Relayer

You can start Locally

./bsc-relayer --config-type local --config-path config.json

Output:

Or, dynamic Sync Cross Chain Protocol Configuration from https://github.com/binance-chain/bsc-relayer-config

  • Edit config.json and change “cross_chain_config.protocol_config_type” to “remote”. Then relayer will dynamically sync cross chain protocol configuration from this repository: https://github.com/binance-chain/bsc-relayer-config
  • Start relayer service
./bsc-relayer --config-type local --config-path config.json

Veryfy Status

You could call RelayerHub Contract to verify that your relayer is registered. Go to read contract and call isRelayer function. If it returns true, then your relayer is working properly.

Relayer Rewards

  1. You can witness the distribution of relayer rewards in the log of system contract: https://explorer.binance.org/smart-testnet/address/0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001005/logs. According to the design of Relayer Incentive, the rewards will be distributed every 1000 data packages. The total accumulated rewards can be read from contract the value of _collectedRewardForHeaderRelayer and _collectedRewardForTransferRelayer.
  2. Query your relayer’s status

The total accumulated relayed count can be read from contractthe value of _transferRelayersSubmitCount

Stop Relayer

To get your locked 100BNB back, you need to call RelayerHub Contract to unregister your relayer. The fee is 0.1BNB

  • Go to MyEtherWallet and interact with contract
  • Fill in the contract addresss: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001006 with abi interface
  • Call unregister function and leave value in ETH as 0
  • Sign your transaction in MetaMask
