Fast Protocol

Ethereum is the settlement layer for stablecoins, DeFi, and institutional capital.

Yet users still bid for inclusion and wait for blocks, while the Maximal Extractable Value (MEV ) tied to their order flow is largely captured elsewhere in the transaction pipeline.

Fast Protocol restructures how MEV is captured and distributed on Ethereum , operating as a coordinated rewards layer that can return up to 100% of routed MEV refunds to users.

Built by Primev and backed by a16z CSX, HashKey, and Figment Capital, Fast Protocol introduces production-ready preconfirmations via FAST RPC . Transactions route privately through mev-commit ’s encrypted mempool and receive cryptographic commitments before block inclusion, reaching economic preconfirmation in as little as 10 to 200 milliseconds.

This same infrastructure powers Fastx402 Facilitator , enabling AI agents to execute gasless $USDC transfers through EIP-3009 and receive near-instant execution guarantees.

🪂 Fast Protocol has officially launched the Fast Miles campaign and Leaderboard 🔥

Users can configure FAST RPC, route swaps through supported DeFi protocols, refer friends, complete dashboard quests, and mint the Genesis SBT to secure early participation.

Beyond one-time tasks, every routed transaction stacks Fast Miles, contributing to leaderboard positioning and potential future $FAST token airdrop rewards post-TGE.

Eligible communities can unlock exclusive badges, including $HYPE holders, Hypurr NFT holders, Azuki, Doodles, Moonbirds, Pudgy Penguins, and Yuga Labs NFT holders.

At the protocol level, Fast Protocol runs a structured Points program across 6-month Seasons. Validators who opt in include blocks built through mev-commit, enabling them to capture higher mev-boost bids and earn increased block yield while accruing Points for sustained participation.

The system is secured by staking and slashing mechanisms . Validators can be penalized only in cases of malicious or non-compliant behavior, ensuring that commitments are honored.
