How DEX aggregators work

Why a single swap can beat any one exchange’s price.

An aggregator’s value is its routing engine. It queries dozens of AMMs and RFQ market makers, then splits your order across pools so the blended price beats any single venue — all settled in one transaction. Intent-based modes go further, letting professional solvers compete to fill your order.

Top picks

1Router + IntentDEX aggregator

11inch

Pathfinder is the classic split-routing engine; Fusion adds a solver auction on top.

2Smart routerDEX aggregator

OOdos

Pushes routing furthest with multi-input/multi-output optimization across 900+ sources.

3Batch auctionDEX aggregator

CCoW Swap

Replaces routing with a batch auction where solvers compete for the whole order set.

Bottom line

Classic aggregators split across pools; intent/auction models (Fusion, CoW) let solvers compete — both aim at one thing: a better fill than any single DEX.
