The Magic of Aggregation
summary
Claims that an aggregator finds the best market rate by splitting swaps across 132 liquidity sources and routing multi-hop trades through an optimized Pathfinder algorithm that includes gas in its cost model. Gives concrete scale numbers—100 million users in crypto, 4.4 million businesses created in the US in 2020—to justify information overload. Reports covering up to 90% gas fees for users, integrates into wallets as an aggregator-of-aggregators, and usually wins the best-rate comparison during live routing.
