What Is a Relayer?

Relayers are independent participants within the Voidify protocol who help facilitate privacy-preserving withdrawals. By submitting transactions to the blockchain on behalf of users, relayers prevent withdrawal wallets from being linked to deposit addresses — all without ever accessing user funds or identities.
Key Functions and Guarantees
Privacy-Preserving: Allows users to withdraw without revealing their own wallet address on-chain
Trustless Operation: Relayers cannot alter, reroute, or access deposited funds — all transaction data is validated by zero-knowledge proofs
Gas Support: Useful when the recipient wallet has no SOL to cover transaction fees
Decentralized Network: The relayer system is open and community-run; protocol developers have no centralized control
Why Relayers Matter
Even with zero-knowledge proofs, withdrawing directly from your own wallet exposes your public key on-chain. This reintroduces traceability and erodes privacy.
Relayers solve this by submitting your withdrawal transaction through their own address — unlinking you from both the proof and the transaction broadcast.
⚙️ How It Works
The user generates a zero-knowledge withdrawal proof off-chain
The user transmits the proof and request to a relayer via a private channel
The relayer broadcasts the transaction from their own address
Funds are transferred to the recipient address
The relayer receives a protocol-defined fee included in the transaction
Throughout this process, the relayer never knows the origin, identity, or intent of the user — preserving full operational privacy.
