# Optimistic Relaying Process

h/t to our friends at [ultrasound relay](https://relay.ultrasound.money/) for devising the Optimistic Relaying process.

### Notes

* Promoting a builder pubkey to Optimistic is a manual process - please reach out to us to have this enabled.
* Optimistic relaying will only happen if your builder pubkeys are promoted by us and the associated collateral is greater than the bid value.
* Following a demotion, Optimistic relaying will be manually re-enabled only once the underlying root cause has been identified and addressed.
* Please reach out to us to link multiple pubkeys to the same Builder ID 

## Collateral

* Collateral must be posted to `titanrelay.eth` from your primary builder fee recipient address.
* Maximum collateral per pubkey is currently `64` ETH for optimistic v1 and `32` ETH for optimistic v2 (subject to change).
* If you would like to have your collateral returned and stop optimistic relaying please reach out to us.

## Incidents

* If a proposer is the victim of an incident related to a bad bid they must be made whole by the Builder of the full bid value.
* Builders are expected to send ETH directly to the proposers fee recipient address to make them whole within 24 hours of the incident occurring.
* If proposers aren't made whole within 24 hours we may use the Builders' collateral to compensate the proposer directly.
* We reserve the right to publish a public post-mortem of any incidents relating to bad bids.
