Background

PropellerSwap

Users often struggle with comparing token swap prices across multiple platforms to find the best deal. PropellerSwap solves this problem by aggregating liquidity from various on-chain and off-chain sources, and doing the hard work of finding the favorable price through routing, protecting it from MEV and improving the chance of a successful transaction. Swapping tokens is simple through the user-friendly front-end, and dApps can integrate the solver API by referring to the documentation.
