The purpose of Facet VM (formerly ESC VM) is to enhance the programmability and scalability of the Ethscriptions protocol by enabling it to act as a general-purpose computing engine.
Scorpio Ethscriptions Relayer passes messages between Ethereum smart contracts and dumb contracts. In this scheme, users sign messages (not transactions) containing information about a transaction they would like to execute.
On the contrary, Layer 2 takes a different approach. In Layer 2, states are managed within the context of the blockchain, which makes validation easier. However, the validation in Layer 2 is conditional.
The logic is that if it is known that X number of transactions are included in a certain block and their order is Y, then it can be inferred that the state of the blockchain should become Z.
While Facet Virtual Machine differs from Layer 2 (second-layer scaling) solutions, it plays a crucial role in the Ethereum ecosystem.
But the problem is that within the Layer 2 system, there is no way to verify whether X and Y are correct.
Relayers are then responsible for signing valid Ethereum transactions with this information and sending them to Dumb Contracts.
