Relay nodes serve as central network hubs and maintain connections to many other nodes. Relay nodes have high-bandwidth network connections which allow for highly efficient communication paths, ultimately reducing the number of **hops in communication***. They do this by accumulating protocol messages from participation nodes and other relay nodes connected to them, performing deduplication, signature checks, and other validation steps and then re-propagating the valid messages. Relay nodes are also often located at internet exchange points to decrease propagation time. Anyone may (and is encouraged to) run a relay node.
