The partnership between RockawayX and Mayan began at the very inception of the Swift protocol.
Although we’re known as a venture capital firm, we played an active role in helping Mayan build and scale its cross-chain trading infrastructure by working with them side by side from day one as a committed infrastructure partner.
The collaboration originated through a mutual connection with Wormhole, where we were already working on Wormhole Settlement and actively helping build the product. RockawayX stood out as one of the few teams with onchain solvers capable of providing the liquidity and operational expertise needed to meet Mayan’s needs.
Within just two months, our team deployed a fully functional solver from scratch, serving as Mayan’s anchor solver to handle larger order sizes and deliver consistent liquidity across chains. Since then, we’ve scaled together through every phase of growth. Our solver has processed over $1.3 billion in transaction volume, enabling high-throughput, low-slippage execution and validating the effectiveness of our advanced solver design.
For this case study, we spoke with Cormac Clay, Head of Growth at Mayan, who shared insights into the role our solver has played in Mayan’s evolution, from performance improvements to operational reliability during volatile market conditions.
How would you describe the experience of building Mayan alongside RockawayX from the earliest stages?
RockawayX has been a deeply engaged partner from the very beginning. They’ve consistently committed resources, meaningful capital, and real focus to scaling their solver, which in turn powers a large share of user transactions on Mayan. That level of hands-on involvement has created a tangible impact for us and set the tone for a strong, long-term partnership.
What stands out to you most about RockawayX as a partner?
What makes RockawayX stand out is their ability to deliver at the level we need. Mayan is one of the largest bridges in the blockchain space, serving core consumer apps like MetaMask, Phantom, OKX Wallet, and many aggregators and infrastructure providers that rely on our speed and seamless execution. To meet that bar, reliability isn’t optional - and RockawayX has proven they can commit resources, scale their solver, and execute with the consistency required to support our millions of users.
How has RockawayX supported you in scaling Mayan during times of high demand or expansion?
They’ve scaled seamlessly in step with our growth. As we’ve expanded onto new chains and seen demand spike, RockawayX has increased their solver capacity, deployed additional capital, and kept pace with user flows.
That consistency and willingness to scale alongside us has made them a true day-one partner across every major phase of expansion.
Get Solvers Support
Because ready-to-deploy capital is needed to fill a transaction request—which can introduce heavy capital inefficiencies—solvers typically suffer from liquidity issues when working across multiple chains. RockwayX solvers, however, are backed by our Credit Fund, RockawayX Infrastructure, and our dedicated solvers team.
This foundation means RockawayX solvers have deep, available liquidity and dedicated ultra-fast highways for transactions. Our solvers are resilient under high stress and able to land high-volume transactions at speeds very few can match.
This is why we’ve been a major partner to systems like Mayan.
