		<h1>Messages Relay</h1>
		<p>
			Both Source Chain and Target Chains have Bridge Messages pallets deployed. They also have required
			finality pallets deployed - we don't care about finality type here - they can be either Bridge GRANDPA,
			or Bridge Parachains finality pallets, or any combination of those.
		</p>
		<p>
			Finality Relayer represents two actual relayers - one relays Source Chain Finality to Target Chain.
			And another one relays Target Chain Finality to Source Chain.
