DEX Aggregator Router

Find optimal routing for token swaps across multiple decentralized exchanges to maximize output and minimize costs.

Installation

/plugin install dex-aggregator-router@claude-code-plugins-plus

Usage

Find Best Route Command

/find-best-route

Or use the shortcut:

/route

Example Queries

# Simple swap routing
/route Best route to swap 10 ETH for USDC

# Compare exchanges
/route Compare Uniswap vs SushiSwap for DAI to USDC

# Large trade optimization
/route I want to swap $50,000 USDT to ETH - optimize routing

# Why aggregators differ
/route Why does 1inch show better rate than Uniswap?

# Multi-hop analysis
/route Should I swap LINK → ETH → USDC or LINK → USDC directly?

Features

• Multi-DEX Comparison - Analyze routes across Uniswap, SushiSwap, Curve, Balancer
• Route Discovery - Find direct, multi-hop, and split order paths
• Price Impact Analysis - Calculate slippage for different trade sizes
• Gas Cost Optimization - Factor in transaction costs vs savings
• Aggregator Integration - Leverage 1inch, Paraswap, Matcha routing
• Execution Parameters - Optimal slippage and deadline settings
• MEV Protection - Recommendations for large trade protection

What It Analyzes

1. Direct Routes - Single DEX, single hop swaps
2. Multi-Hop Paths - Routes through intermediate tokens
3. Split Orders - Partial routing across multiple DEXs
4. Price Impact - Slippage based on trade size
5. Gas Costs - Transaction fees for each route option
6. Net Output - Total received after all costs
7. Liquidity Depth - Pool sizes and available liquidity

Output Includes

• Recommended best route with detailed path
• Comparison table of top 3-5 routes
• Price impact calculations
• Gas cost estimates
• Slippage tolerance recommendations
• Execution parameters
• Risk factors and considerations
• Alternative strategies for large trades

Supported DEXs

Ethereum Mainnet

• Uniswap V2/V3 - Most liquid, standard pairs
• SushiSwap - Alternative with good liquidity
• Curve - Best for stablecoins
• Balancer - Multi-token pools
• 1inch - Meta-aggregator
• Paraswap - Smart routing
• CoW Swap - MEV-protected batch auctions

Layer 2s

• Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon support
• Network-specific liquidity considerations

Trade Size Recommendations

Small Trades (< $1,000)

• Prioritize low gas costs
• Use simple direct routes
• Uniswap V2 often best

Medium Trades ($1,000 - $10,000)

• Balance price impact and gas
• Consider multi-hop if beneficial
• Aggregators provide value

Large Trades ($10,000 - $100,000)

• Split routing often optimal
• Use MEV protection
• Higher slippage tolerance needed

Whale Trades (> $100,000)

• Consider OTC desks
• TWAP (time-weighted) execution
• Professional market makers

Key Metrics Explained

Price Impact

Percentage difference between expected and execution price due to trade size affecting pool balance.

Slippage Tolerance

Maximum acceptable price movement before transaction reverts.

Effective Rate

Final exchange rate after all fees, impacts, and costs.

Total Cost

Combined cost of price impact, DEX fees, and gas.

Optimization Strategies

Route Splitting

Divide trade across multiple DEXs to reduce per-pool impact.

Multi-Hop Routing

Route through intermediate tokens when direct pairs have poor liquidity.

Gas vs Impact Trade-off

Sometimes higher gas cost route has lower price impact, better for large trades.

Important Notes

• Always verify token contract addresses (scams exist)
• Price impact is non-linear - doubles trade size ≠ doubles impact
• Gas estimates are approximate, actual costs may vary
• Slippage protection is essential in volatile markets
• MEV bots can frontrun large trades without protection
• Aggregators like 1inch already do this optimization
• This provides routing analysis, not financial advice

Data Sources

• DEX liquidity pools (on-chain data)
• 1inch API (aggregator routing)
• Paraswap API (comparative pricing)
• Gas price feeds (Etherscan, Blocknative)

Requirements

• Token pair (from token, to token)
• Trade amount
• Network (Ethereum, Arbitrum, etc.)
• (Optional) Urgency and slippage tolerance
