Is it clear to think of these relayers in a similar way of how Chainlink nodes operate? - something that listens for specific events on a source chain and relays a message to the destination chain for some operation to be performed |

Yes, since the relayers do not communicate with each other, they are tasked with listening to contract events emitted on the various chains that are being bridged. Transactions are then signed (and paid for) by these relayers in order to perform operations on the destination chains. The relayers can then be paid back by way of enforcing a bridge fee. |
