Modularized design

Core Flow

The heart of our system follows a clean, two-stage process:

  1. Route Optimization Engine: Runs sophisticated optimization algorithms to analyze all available liquidity across sources on target chain, producing a graph-based routing plan. This plan serves as a complete, intermediate representation of the optimal route - chain-agnostic and router-agnostic.

  2. Encoder: Takes the graph-based routing plan and encodes it into specific calldata targeting the user's specified router contract, handling the translation from our universal representation to the router's expected data.

Adapter Architecture

Our system employs three types of adapters that decouple complex external integrations from our core engine:

  • Chain Adapters: Handle blockchain-specific operations and data formates

  • Liquidity Source Adapters: Manage integration with various DEXs, including AMMs and RFQs

  • Router Contract Adapters: Enable support for different execution contracts

These adapters isolate all the complicated integration logic with external resources and dependencies, keeping our core Route Optimization Engine simple, focused, and maintainable.

Extensible and Customizable Services

This modularized architecture enables us to provide extensible and customizable routing services beyond regular trading:

Easy Chain and Protocol Integration

  • New Chain Support: Adding support for a new blockchain requires only implementing a new chain adapter without modifying the core optimization engine. With existing liquidity sources, new chain support typically takes only 30 minutes of development time.

  • New Liquidity Sources: Integrating additional DEXs, AMMs, or novel liquidity protocols is simplified through the adapter pattern. New liquidity source support normally takes just a few hours of development time if their contract is a fork of popular AMM contract templates.

User Customization Options

  • Prioritize Preferred Liquidity: Users can configure the system to prioritize their own liquidity sources or preferred protocols in the routing optimization

  • Custom Router Contracts: Advanced users and institutions can deploy and use their own router contracts while still benefiting from our optimization engine

  • Flexible Execution: The separation between route planning and execution allows users to choose their preferred execution method

Benefits for Different User Types

  • Regular Traders: Benefit from optimized routing across all available liquidity

  • Market Makers and Protocols: Can customize routing to prioritize their own liquidity while maintaining control over execution

  • Solvers and Developers: Can build on top of our optimization engine with their own execution layer

This architecture transforms traditional DEX aggregation from a one-size-fits-all solution into a flexible, modular platform that can adapt to diverse user needs and rapidly evolving DeFi landscape.
