DEX Aggregator
A tool that routes token swaps across multiple DEXs to find the best price.
Definition
A DEX aggregator is a tool that sources liquidity from multiple decentralised exchanges and routes token swaps to achieve the best possible price for the user. Rather than trading against a single liquidity pool, aggregators split and route orders across multiple sources.
DEX aggregators compare prices across all connected DEXs in real time, accounting for fees and slippage. For large trades, they may split the order across multiple pools to minimise price impact.
Jupiter is the dominant DEX aggregator on Solana, routing trades across Raydium, Meteora, Orca, PumpSwap, and dozens of other Solana liquidity venues.
