This is an advanced topic for relayer operators and liquidity providers. Regular users benefit automatically when relayers offer fast finalization.
Fast transfers let liquidity providers front tokens on the destination chain before the original transfer fully finalizes. Users receive tokens in seconds instead of minutes.
