# The Relayer Network

Shielding assets protects your onchain data, but what about network level metadata? Veilon addresses this issue through its decentralized relayer network, which serves as a privacy layer to protect your IP address, timing, and origin data.

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Role:</mark>

The relayer network enhances privacy by:

* Broadcasting transactions on behalf of users.
* Obfuscating IP addresses, geolocation, and transaction submission patterns.
* Decoupling the sender from their submitted transactions.

### <mark style="color:yellow;">How It Works:</mark>

* Users create transactions locally within the Veilon wallet.
* These transactions are sent as encrypted payloads to relayers via secure channels.
* Relayers broadcast the transaction to the blockchain, receiving a small fee or protocol incentive for their service.

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Real World Analogy:</mark>

Think of the relayer network as a trusted courier delivering your message without revealing your address even to the recipient. It ensures the privacy and security of your transaction metadata.

```javascript
const payload = {
  proof,
  publicSignals,
  newCommitment,
  nullifierHash,
  chainId: 1, // Ethereum Mainnet
};

const tx = await axios.post('https://relayer.veilon.network/submit', payload);
console.log('Relayer tx hash:', tx.data.txHash);
```
