Chainlink Relayer
The Chainlink Relayer presents an innovative solution, seamlessly and instantaneously bridging Chainlink price feeds from Ethereum to the ENI Chain. This crucial functionality empowers decentralized applications (dApps) on ENI that require robust and up-to-date pricing information.
Crucially, these price updates are precisely relayed to a dedicated smart contract on the ENI Chain, which we refer to as the 'Shadow Aggregator.' This Shadow Aggregator is meticulously engineered to possess an identical interface to Chainlink's native aggregators. This design significantly streamlines the development process: once dApps complete their initial integration with the ENI ecosystem, they can effortlessly pivot their existing Chainlink integrations to leverage the relayed data, minimizing development overhead.
To ensure transaction finality and data integrity, clients typically await approximately 20 block confirmations – roughly a 5-minute window – after submitting a transaction. This synchronization mechanism guarantees the reliable delivery of critical information.
Currently, during this introductory (or 'XPlan') phase, data submissions by Relayers are restricted to authorized addresses to ensure stability and control. However, a key aspect of our future vision is to evolve into a fully permissionless system. Upon the mainnet's launch, we plan to upgrade this mechanism, enabling anyone to run a Relayer and contribute price data, thereby embracing a truly decentralized model.
Shadow Aggregators
For each aggregator on Ethereum, ENI provides a shadow aggregator on ENI Chain.
