Overview

Connecting to Rayls Private Networks enables private transactions between Rayls Privacy Nodes. These decentralized, permissioned EVM networks allow financial institutions to securely manage digital assets, payments, and transactions.

Rayls Private Networks provide privacy, scalability, interoperability, and decentralization, giving institutions full control over their data while enabling seamless value exchange. The architecture supports high transaction throughput and real-time settlement, meeting financial standards​​​.

Pre-requisites

Here are the pre-requisites for a Rayls Privacy Node to be connected with a Private Network:

1. Deployment of Components: All components in your Rayls Privacy Node packages must be fully deployed, and operational. Ensure that the necessary databases are set up with adequate resources.
2. Private Network Registration: Registering your Rayls Privacy Node with a Private Network is a simple straight forward process of information exchange and coordination with the Private Network Operator to ensure that your Rayls Privacy Node is recognized and allowed to participate in the network.
3. Testing and Validation: Once connected, it’s important to validate the setup by conducting test transactions to ensure that everything is functioning as expected.

Private Network Onboarding Process:

The process of connecting a Rayls Privacy Node to a PPrivate Network is an off-chain process managed by the Private Network Operator of each Private Network. This ensures that each Private Network Operator institution can customize their onboarding and connecting workflows according to their specific needs and regulatory requirements.

Connecting a Rayls Privacy Node to a Private Network is establishing a communication channel between the Relayer component of the Rayls Privacy Node and the Private Network Hub of the Private Network. This channel enables secure and private cross-chain transactions.

Read more details about creating a cross-chain transaction in the Sending A Teleport page.

Key Components:

• Rayls Privacy Nodes
  • Rayls Privacy Node Ledger: Private permissioned EVM blockchains that support high transaction volumes with full privacy and compliance.
  • Rayls Privacy Node Relayers: Enables the cross-chain communication and transaction processing of a Rayls Privacy Node in a Private Network.
• Private Network Hub: An EVM-compatible blockchain that orchestrates and validates transactions between participant Rayls Privacy Nodes of a Private Network.

Step-by-Step

1. Off-chain Coordination between Rayls Privacy Node and Private Network: Coordinate off-chain with Private Network Operator about connecting your Rayls Privacy Node. Information such as Rayls Privacy Node Ledger chainID and Private Network Hub details will be exchanged.
2. Registration and Approval by Private Network Operator: Once information exchange is completed, the Private Network Operator goes through its registration and approval.
3. Establishing connection with Private Network: Once your Rayls Privacy Node is approved by the Private Network Operator, is time to initiate the communication channel with the Private Network by deploying the Relayer component.
4. Testing connection: Once the Relayer component is operational, it’s time for testing it. It is recommend exchanging Arbitrary Messages with Private Network participants to ensure connection. Use the block explorer to visualize and confirm the cross chain messages sent/received.
