Layer Relayer

This is a simple relayer that relays oracle data and validator set updates from tellor layer to evm chains.

Setup

We assume you have python installed. Note, if you are running on ubuntu, see the additional requirements below.

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/tellor-io/py-relayer.git

2. Navigate to the repository directory:

cd py-relayer

3. Create a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

4. Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Copy the .env.example file to .env and set the appropriate environment variables:

cp .env.example .env

The "email" section of the .env file is optional. If you want to receive emails when layer is down, input your gmail username and password. We recommend using an app password for your gmail account.

Additional Requirements for Ubuntu
