# What is Mayan?

> Mayan lets you swap any asset to any chain instantly, powering the apps millions use.

Mayan is how crypto moves. Through a simple swap interface and a powerful set of developer tools, it handles routing and execution behind the scenes so users get fast, competitive swaps and teams can build cross-chain movement into their products.

Over **\$20B** has moved through Mayan, across **9M+ swaps** and **3M+ users**, on Solana, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain, Monad, Sui, HyperEVM and more.

Mayan powers some of the biggest apps in crypto and fintech, including MetaMask, Phantom, OKX Wallet, MoonPay, SwapKit and LI.FI.

## Key features

* **Speed.** Swaps settle in seconds, not minutes. Drivers pay the user from capital they already hold on the destination chain, so nobody waits on the source chain to finalize first.
* **One place, three swap methods.** Swift, MCTP, and Wormhole Swap cover everything from pennies to millions. You pick the one that fits the order.
* **Best rates, always.** Every order is filled competitively, so pricing moves in the user's favour rather than being fixed at quote time.
* **Developer-friendly.** An [SDK](/build/sdk), an [API](/build/integrate-swap-api), and a drop-in [widget](/integration/swap-widget), with flexible fee options.
* **Non-custodial.** Permissionless smart contracts, [audited](/resources/audits) by OtterSec and Sec3. No party can freeze or move user assets.
