Why does RocketX use DEX aggregators instead of connecting (all) the individual DEXs themselves?

Besides saving lots of time and energy to connect all these DEXs individually, DEX aggregators have some major advantages such as:

·         Optimal routing and multi-step swap benefits by taking advantage of price differences by using pools that are “lagging” in price.

·         Extra liquidity via external market makers. For example, Paraswap has additional pools financed by well-known market makers such as Wintermute and Kronos Research.

·         DEX aggregators have taken measurements to avoid front-running to some extent.

·         Lower gas fees. The DEX aggregators use specific tools and have set up their smart contracts to lower gas fees.

Let these DEX aggregators compete with each other, RocketX will find the best DEX aggregator for you.
