Fast Protocol launches Fast Swaps

Fast Protocol’s public dashboard shows 112,600 Genesis SBTs minted, 339,500 transactions routed through its system, and $57.4 million in swap volume recorded so far. (fastprotocol.io) Founder Murat Akdeniz publicly demonstrated a MetaMask ETH transfer preconfirmed in 377 milliseconds during a live demo, which multiple outlets reproduced; separate coverage quotes Fast RPC preconfirmation claims as low as ~200 ms in bench reports. (coincentral.com) The stack uses a drop‑in FAST RPC that routes eth_sendRawTransaction through an mev‑commit ordering layer and a coordinated builder network, letting wallets obtain cryptographic preconfirmations before L1 inclusion. (docs.primev.xyz) Fast Protocol’s documentation and Learn pages state the protocol redistributes protocol-captured MEV back to users — advertising at least 90% user rebate via a tokenized rewards system called Miles and an order-flow auction. (fastprotocol.io) Investors and ecosystem partners named in Fast Protocol’s public links include a16z CSX, HashKey, and Figment Capital, and coverage of the project highlights a16z-led funding as part of early backer disclosures. (linktr.ee) Early access for swap experiments is gatekept via a Premint-style waitlist and invite workflow while the project runs Season 1 reward mechanics; Fast’s Early Access page and community guides describe invite codes, RPC setup steps, and SBT gating for approvals.
