A transparent, on-chain auction on Solana where drivers compete to offer users the most favorable swap price for cross-chain transfers. How it works:
- Each swap request triggers a 3-second English auction.
- Drivers submit bids focused on offering the best rate, not the fastest response.
- The best price wins, and the winner executes the swap at their quoted rate.
Unlike typical limit order models—which lead to gas wars and MEV extraction—Mayan’s auction system is designed to maximize value for users through true price competition. Get involved:
To become a solver (“driver”), open a support ticket in the Mayan Discord and request access. Applications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Design note:
Mayan refers to solvers as “drivers,” it’s a nod to the Mayan team’s roots in building ride-sharing routing algorithms.
