DEX aggregators search across multiple exchanges to find you the best price. They’re essential tools for serious traders who want to minimize costs.
How Aggregators Work
Aggregators query prices from dozens of DEXs simultaneously, then route your trade through the optimal path—sometimes splitting across multiple pools for the best overall execution.

When to Use Aggregators
Always use aggregators for trades over $1,000. The savings from better routing easily outweigh any additional gas. For small trades, direct DEX access may be more cost-effective.
