relayer

Automatically fetches chain and path metadata from the Cosmos chain-registry using commands like `rly chains add`, reducing manual configuration effort and ensuring up-to-date chain information.

Can create and manage IBC paths by opening clients, connections, and channels, enabling full cross-chain setup beyond basic packet relaying, as highlighted in the features section.

Allows anyone to run a relayer process, avoiding centralized trust points and aligning with the Cosmos ethos of decentralization, as stated in the philosophy.

Supports allowlists and denylists for channels with rules specified in the config YAML, providing fine-grained control over which packets are relayed, as detailed in the channel filter setup.
