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.
