Mayan primary-source snapshot

Fetched: 2026-04-25 UTC

1) Documentation home / project overview

Source: https://docs.mayan.finance/

Selected excerpts from the docs:

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.

Additional signals from the docs:

• The docs position Mayan as both a user-facing app and developer infrastructure stack
• Official copy highlights three swap methods — Swift, MCTP, and Wormhole Swap — which suggests Mayan is an execution layer coordinating multiple routing primitives rather than a single bridge mechanism
• The overview page claims support for major chains spanning Solana, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Sui, BNB Chain, Monad, and more

2) llms.txt documentation index

Source: https://docs.mayan.finance/llms.txt

Selected excerpts/signals from the docs index:

Auction

MCTP

Relayers

Swift

Swift v2

Wormhole Swap

Explorer API

Quote API

Swap Widget

Security & Audits

Additional signals from the docs index:

• The public docs index exposes application docs, architecture pages, SDK/integration surfaces, and security materials in one place
• This makes the docs a stronger primary source than the mostly minimal dynamic homepage content fetched during this pass

3) Swift architecture docs

Source: https://docs.mayan.finance/architecture/swift

Selected excerpts from the docs:

Swift is Mayan’s intent-based protocol designed for rapid bridging and swaps.

Drivers (solvers) bid competitively in this auction.

The entire process from order initiation to final settlement typically completes within seconds.

Swift charges a fee of 3 basis points (0.03%).

Additional signals from the docs:

• Swift is described as an intent-based fast-fill system where the destination-side fulfillment uses inventory already held by the winning driver
• Contract addresses are published for multiple networks, which is a strong operational signal for a real deployed protocol surface
• The docs explicitly recommend new integrations use Swift v2, indicating an actively evolving architecture rather than a frozen bridge design

4) Auction docs

Source: https://docs.mayan.finance/architecture/auction

Selected excerpts from the docs:

A transparent, on-chain auction on Solana where drivers compete to offer users the most favorable swap price for cross-chain transfers.

Each swap request triggers a 3-second English auction.

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.

Additional signals from the docs:

• The auction description clarifies that Mayan’s optimization target is price competition, not simply fill speed
• The docs also reveal solver onboarding remains somewhat permissioned in practice because would-be drivers are told to request access through Discord

5) Security & audits docs

Source: https://docs.mayan.finance/resources/audits

Selected excerpts from the docs:

Mayan smart contracts and Solana programs place a strong emphasis on security.

Our smart contracts have undergone thorough audits by leading security firms, including OtterSec and Sec3

Mayan operates on trustless, permissionless smart contracts, meaning no single party has control over or can freeze assets

Additional signals from the docs:

• The audits page links directly to audit PDFs for core contracts and route variants including MCTP and Swift
• Security materials strengthen the case that Mayan should be cataloged as infrastructure/protocol rather than just a swap frontend

6) Official GitHub organization

Source: https://github.com/mayan-finance

Selected excerpts/signals from the public org page:

Cross-chain Swap Infrastructure

npm package for sending cross-chain swap transactions

Additional signals from the org page:

• Public repos include docs, swap SDKs, route tooling, server components, and transaction-building utilities
• The GitHub org reinforces that Mayan is shipping developer-facing infrastructure rather than only running a hosted consumer app

Notes

• This pass did not locate a classic whitepaper or litepaper from official Mayan sources.
• The strongest primary materials were the docs home, llms.txt index, Swift and Auction architecture pages, audits page, and GitHub organization.
• Mayan appears best categorized as cross-chain swap / bridge / intent-routing infrastructure.
