# Generic Relayers
[TOC]
## Objective
Develop a common standard for cross-chain relaying system that any application can interface with on-chain to enable better composability.

## Background

A decentralized network of generic relayers can address the shortcomings of both of the two current relaying methods by handling the cross-chain message redemption and submission on behalf of users and be a separate decentralized service that integrators can leverage.
Fundamentally, the relayer service should require no additional trust assumptions from the integrating contract's perspective. This service should merely serve as a third delivery mechanism option without changing any composing protocol's messaging. See the best practices for [protocol design](https://book.wormhole.com/dapps/architecture/3_protocolDesign.html).
## Goals
- Allow developers to send and receive cross-chain messages through on-chain entrypoints to Wormhole.
- Develop relayers that are capable of redeeming and submitting full or subset of Batch VAAs.
- Provide a composable, trustless relaying service in line with the Wormhole ecosystem.
