Relay

Relay is a GenLayer milestone escrow protocol for campaigns, backer pledges, proof submission and AI-assisted milestone verification.

This repository is a public proof package: it includes the product UI, the deployed GenLayer Studionet contract source, deployment metadata, finalized smoke transactions, and test evidence. Local wallet secrets are not included.

Escrow Corrections

Milestone verification records an approval but never transfers the tranche by itself. Release is a separate guarded action and is blocked by pending challenges or appeals. Validators judge an immutable proof snapshot, accepted reviews alter the release state, overfunded pledge value is returned immediately, and failed campaigns expose a deterministic backer refund path. The interface now provides each submitted write action; tests/test_v2_invariants.py verifies the escrow boundaries.

Why Relay Exists

Milestone-gated crowdfunding escrow. Backers pledge GEN, creators submit public proof URLs, GenLayer verifies the milestone, and the contract releases only the verified tranche or enables refunds on failure.

The frontend keeps the original product experience, while the contract adds a reviewable on-chain lifecycle: source records, GenLayer reasoning, challenge and appeal paths, indexed reads, and an audit trail that can be inspected after deployment.

Static frontend bundled for standalone Vercel deployment

Frontend

Relay ships as a standalone static app:

• wallet connection through the bundled browser client
• GenLayer reads through genlayer-js
• writes routed through the connected EVM wallet
• bundled shared/ client files keep the Vercel deployment self-contained
• deployed contract address pinned in app.js and deployment.json

Run Locally

From this repository folder:

python -m http.server 8080

Open:

Deploy

npx --yes vercel@latest --prod --yes

Repository Safety

This public repository intentionally excludes local secrets:

• no private keys
• no vault files
• no .env files
• no .vercel project state
• no local dashboard data

Public files include frontend code, contract source, deployment metadata, tests, and non-sensitive proof links.
