What is Speedrun​

Speedrun is an intent settlement protocol designed for blazing fast cross-chain transactions with robust security. Built on ZetaChain as interoperability layer, it enables rapid token transfers between blockchains without compromising security or decentralization.

For example, you can use Speedrun to send 10 USDC from Base to Arbitrum in under 5 seconds

Why Speedrun​

Speedrun is built for fast cross-chain transactions with a focus on strong security.

While ZetaChain’s architecture offers trustlessness, composability, and robust safety guarantees, it may introduce latency compared to centralized bridges. Speedrun introduces an intent-based execution model, turning that latency into a market-driven opportunity.

By allowing third-party fulfillers to complete user intents immediately and rely on ZetaChain for finality, Speedrun ensures both speed and security, without compromise.

Features​

  • 🔥 Fast: Use intent model to complete transactions directly on the target
  • 🛡️ Secure: Use ZetaChain interoperability to ensure intents are settled
  • 🏛️ Permissionless: Leverage ZetaChain for decentralization and rely on a permissionless model for intent fulfillement

Who Can Use Speedrun​

  • 🧑‍🚀 Crypto Users: Access the speedrun.exchange platform directly to make fast cross-chain transfers
  • 👷 Developers: Integrate Speedrun contracts and APIs into applications to create cross-chain dApps with fast processing
  • 🤖 Fulfillers: Provide liquidity on target chains and fulfill intents to receive intent fees

Technical Documentation​

This documentation site will expand to include:

  • 🔌 API references
  • 📦 Smart contract documentation
  • 📘 Integration guides
  • 🛠️ Fulfillment tooling and setup

Vision​

🌐 Expand Beyond EVM

Speedrun will go beyond EVM chains to support non-EVM ecosystems such as Solana, Sui, and more — becoming a truly universal cross-chain settlement protocol.

⚡ Build Fast Cross-Chain Apps

Our vision isn’t limited to token transfers. Speedrun will support arbitrary cross-chain smart contract calls, enabling developers to build blazing fast cross-chain applications powered by intents.
