Attestcoin Protocol Operator Guides

There are two decentralized operator roles for the Attestcoin Protocol on Creditcoin. Attestor and relayer. We detail the process of deploying these here.

Attestor Role

Attestors have two main functions:

1. Following and attesting to source-chain blocks. Attestors follow new blocks on a source chain and attest to them. This is done eagerly, and enables inexpensive and rapid readability of source-chain data.

2. Signing writability messages (not yet released). In an upcoming release, Attestors will also sign writability messages. This will enable Attestcoin Smart Contracts to send data to a destination chain, effectively providing full two-way interoperability.

Relayer Role

The Relayer role is evolving quickly. To keep up with the latest Relayer news, stay in touch with us through the Creditcoin blog, Discord, and X.
