Project Overview
Relay is a cross-chain payments system that enables instant, low-cost bridging and cross-chain execution. It works by connecting users with relayers - financial agents that act on users’ behalfs across chains in exchange for a small fee. Relay is designed to minimize gas costs and execution latency, making it ideal for price-sensitive applications, such as payments, bridging, nft minting and gas abstraction. Relay was previously known as Reservoir, a token and NFT trading infrastructure.

Predict Fun on BSC Suspected of Being Attacked, Approximately $300,000 in Funds Flows Into Tornado Cash
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), the BSC-based prediction market platform Predict Fun was allegedly compromised via a vulnerability, with approximately $300,000 in suspected stolen funds transferred from multiple contracts through intermediary wallets to Relay. These funds were reportedly routed into Tornado Cash following a cross-chain transfer.
Relay will decommission Relay Vaults, and the withdrawal page will close on December 31.
Cross-chain protocol Relay announced on Twitter that it will discontinue Relay Vaults. Users holding funds must visit the official portal to withdraw; the portal will be shut down on December 31, 2026, after which users can still withdraw directly from the contracts. According to the official statement, the Vaults were an optional product for liquidity providers and are being phased out ahead of an imminent upgrade, with further details to be announced in the future. Swaps, payments, and other integrations remain unaffected and will continue operating as usual.
JaredfromSubway.eth sandwich attack bot has extracted $295 million in total, with $7.5 million stolen in June
Odaily News: The sandwich attack bot operated by JaredfromSubway.eth has extracted a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH since March 2023, worth approximately $295 million at current prices. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 counterfeit token contracts, exploiting the bot's automated trading logic to steal at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins, and funneled the funds into Tornado Cash. The stolen assets have not yet been recovered.Sandwich attacks are a form of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV): the bot monitors large transactions in Ethereum's public mempool, buys ahead of the target transaction, and sells after the transaction pushes the price up, capturing profits from the spread. The bot's primary contract had received a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH as of August 28.MEV-Boost block construction is centralized among a small group of participants, with relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay, and bloXroute regulated relays collectively forwarding approximately 85% to 88% of related blocks within a 24-hour window; Titan's builder independently assembled 50.3% of the blocks. Monthly sandwich attack extraction amounts have declined from approximately $10 million in late 2024 to roughly $2.5 million in October 2025. (Bitcoin.com News)

Pump.fun Co-founder Alon: In-house cross-chain bridge Pump Bridge is now live, buy error rate down 92%
Pump.fun co-founder and COO Alon posted on X that the platform's in-house cross-chain bridge, Pump Bridge, is now available to all app users. According to the test data he published, compared with the previously used cross-chain service provider Relay, Pump Bridge improves buy execution speed by about 2x, reduces transaction error rate by 92% from over 11% to under 1%, and on average yields more tokens for the same capital, while currently charging no additional cross-chain fees.Alon noted that previously, roughly 1 in every 9 cross-chain buys on Relay encountered an error, with a typical transaction taking close to 4 seconds and about 10% of transactions taking more than 7 seconds. He also said that the social trading app FOMO is still using Relay.The above results come from randomized testing conducted between September 28 and October 7, covering networks including Robinhood, BSC, Base, Arc, and Ink but excluding Ethereum, with a total of 416,669 transaction results recorded, of which 383,326 were used for transaction timing statistics and 35,333 USDC buys under $500 were used to compare execution performance.In addition, Alon said that the platform fee rate for the Pump.fun app is 0.45%, Callout rewards are distributed at at least $300,000 per day and have totaled about $20 million over the past two months. During the limited-time referral reward campaign, referrers can receive all platform fees generated by referred users, while the platform says it will not retain any platform fee revenue.
