What is DefiLlama Swap?

DefiLlama Swap is a conceptual routing and aggregation layer built on top of DefiLlama’s on-chain data — designed to identify the best swap path across multiple DEXes and chains by leveraging real-time liquidity and price feeds.

How it works

  • Aggregated routing: Checks liquidity across supported DEXes and chains to find lowest slippage paths.
  • On-chain transparency: Uses DefiLlama’s open data for TVL and pool depth to estimate execution quality.
  • Split routing: Optionally splits large swaps across multiple pools to minimize price impact.
  • Price discovery: Compares quotes, fees, and gas to present the true net cost of a swap.

Benefits

  • Better executed swaps via multi-pool, multi-chain routing.
  • Transparent metrics — estimated slippage, fees, and on-chain depth visible before execution.
  • Chain-agnostic: supports swaps that leverage cross-chain liquidity bridges or wrapped assets.

Limitations & Considerations

  • Latency & quotes: On-chain liquidity snapshots can change fast — prices may move between quote and execution.
  • Gas & bridge costs: Cross-chain routes can introduce extra fees that offset routing gains.
  • Slippage vs MEV: Large orders may still face MEV or sandwich risk despite optimal routing.
