💹Why You Should Never Swap Directly On A Single DEX? What Is DEX Aggregators ?

You have 100,000 USDC and want to buy ETH. Common habit is you go directly to DEX, enter the amount, and click Swap. As a result, you receive less ETH than the market rate. You just lost a few hundred dollars due to Slippage and Price Impact. Why? Because you tried to force a large order into a single Liquidity Pool with limited depth.

🔸 What Is A DEX Aggregator?

Imagine a DEX Aggregator as Skyscanner of crypto.

Skyscanner does not sell tickets. It scans data from airlines to find you the cheapest flight.

Similarly, a DEX Aggregator does not hold liquidity. It scans data from all DEXs to find you the best rate.

🔸 When you sell 100,000 USDC via an Aggregator, it does not dump it all in one place. It executes two smart algorithms:

It splits your order and sells it on different DEXs

👉 Reduce pressure on individual pools 👉 Lower slippage.

It finds detours if they are cheaper.

🔹 Individual DEXs are where liquidity is Provided. Aggregators are where liquidity is Consumed. As a trader, always trade on Aggregators to ensure you get Best Execution.

Are you using a search engine to find cheap tickets, or just walking into the airport to buy overpriced ones?
