Architecture

The Zether Messaging Protocol enables cross-chain communication through a network of smart contracts, backed by a range of Agents known as Transmitters and Conductors.

The diagram depicts the process of transmitting a message across various blockchains:

1. User triggers a transaction, prompting a dApp to request a cross-chain message via a Circuit Smart Contract.

2. Transmitter Agents relay the request to the Controller Smart Contract on the Zether Network, where consensus is verified.

3. An outbound request is then sent to the target chain.

4. The Conductor Agent delivers the outbound request to the Circuit Smart Contract on the destination blockchain.

5. The Circuit invokes the designated smart contract of the dApp, completing the cross-chain message transfer.
