RelayAgere
Agere 1 - RelayAgere
RelayAgere is an agere in Alpha stage, with the primary goal of building an Oracle network to provide Oracle services for any blockchain. Currently, this agere has implemented the Relay functionality for the GEB network, assisting GEB in implementing Bitcoin light node functionality.
This article uses Relayagere as a case study to provide a detailed explanation of agere characteristics.
Auditor
Core Responsibilities
Auditors are responsible for evaluating the quality of GEB-related transactions submitted by executors by analyzing on-chain transaction records. Only transactions that comply with GEB specifications and execute successfully are deemed valid.
Incentive Mechanism
Rewards correlate with evaluation fairness: higher authenticity in evaluation leads to higher incentives, while malicious/arbitrary scoring significantly reduces earnings
Fairness is guaranteed by the agere consensus mechanism, with final determinations made through collaborative evaluation by multiple auditors
Stake amount determines competition priority, with the network continuously rewarding the top 64 auditors by stake amount
Auditors enjoy higher fixed incentives than executors; dropping below the top 64 positions results in loss of eligibility (can continue participating as executors)
Executor
Core Responsibilities
Identify and submit GEB-related Bitcoin transactions to the network
Increase transaction processing priority by paying gas fees
Bear the risk of transaction failure (gas fees must still be paid for unsuccessful transactions)
Incentive Mechanism
Revenue Source: Number of successfully submitted and verified valid transactions × reward coefficient per transaction
Gas Strategy: Paying higher gas can increase transaction ordering priority, but costs and benefits must be balanced
Zero-sum Competition: For identical transactions within the same block, only the first high-gas transaction receives rewards, other executors' gas payments are non-refundable
Competition Mechanism
Gas Bidding Principle: Transactions are ordered by descending gas fees, with high gas prioritized
Hardware Performance Impact: Executors with lower network latency can broadcast high-gas transactions faster
Risk Hedging: Need to predict transaction repetition probability to avoid excessive gas payments leading to losses
Key Process Example When executors A, B, and C simultaneously submit identical transactions to the current block:
Executor A pays 0.01 GEB gas
Executor B pays 0.02 GEB gas
Executor C pays 0.015 GEB gas → System prioritizes Executor B's transaction, A and C's gas fees are deducted with no reward
