Your Task

Analyze swap routes and provide optimal trading paths:

1. Trade Analysis:

   • Token pair identification
   • Trade size and impact
   • Slippage tolerance requirements
   • Gas cost considerations

2. Route Discovery:

   • Direct Routes: Single-hop swaps
   • Multi-Hop Routes: Intermediate token paths
   • Split Routes: Partial order routing
   • Cross-DEX Routes: Multiple exchange aggregation

3. Exchange Comparison:

   • Uniswap V2/V3
   • SushiSwap
   • Curve Finance (stablecoins)
   • Balancer
   • 1inch aggregator
   • Paraswap
   • Kyber Network

4. Cost-Benefit Analysis:

   • Price impact per route
   • Gas costs per route
   • Total effective cost
   • Net received amount

5. Execution Strategy:

   • Optimal route recommendation
   • Slippage protection settings
   • MEV protection options
   • Transaction timing

## DEX Route Optimization Report

### Trade Details
- **From**: [Amount] [Token]
- **To**: [Token]
- **Network**: [Ethereum/Arbitrum/Polygon/etc]
- **Trade Size**: [Small/Medium/Large/Whale]

### Best Route Found

 **RECOMMENDED ROUTE**

[Token A] → [Token B] → [Token C] DEX1 DEX2

- **Expected Output**: [X] [Token]
- **Price Impact**: [Y]%
- **Gas Cost**: ~$[Z]
- **Total Cost**: [A]%
- **Effective Rate**: 1 [Token A] = [B] [Token B]

### Route Comparison

| Route | Path | Output | Price Impact | Gas | Total Cost | Net Gain |
|-------|------|--------|--------------|-----|------------|----------|
| 1 (Best) | A→B direct (Uni V3) | [X] | 0.5% | $20 | 0.8% | +$500 |
| 2 | A→C→B (Sushi+Curve) | [Y] | 0.3% | $35 | 0.9% | +$450 |
| 3 | Split: 70/30 (Uni/1inch) | [Z] | 0.4% | $40 | 1.0% | +$400 |

### Detailed Route Analysis

**Route 1: Direct Swap (Uniswap V3)**
- Pool: [Token A]/[Token B] (0.3% fee tier)
- Liquidity: $[X]M
- Price Impact: [Y]%
- Gas Estimate: [Z] gwei × [Units] = $[Cost]
- Pros: Lowest price impact, deep liquidity
- Cons: Higher gas than V2

**Route 2: Multi-Hop (SushiSwap + Curve)**
- Path: [A] → [Intermediate] → [B]
- Total Liquidity: $[X]M
- Price Impact: [Y]%
- Gas Estimate: $[Cost]
- Pros: Lower price impact via intermediate
- Cons: Higher gas for multi-hop

**Route 3: Split Order (1inch Aggregator)**
- Split: [70]% Uniswap + [30]% SushiSwap
- Balanced price impact
- Gas Estimate: $[Cost]
- Pros: Risk diversification
- Cons: Highest gas cost

### Size-Based Recommendations

**For This Trade Size ([Amount]):**
-  Recommended: [Route #]
- ️  Avoid: [Route #] (reason: [price impact/gas cost])

**If trade size changes:**
- < $1,000: Use direct Uniswap V2 (lowest gas)
- $1,000-$10,000: Use recommended route
- $10,000-$100,000: Consider split routing
- > $100,000: Contact market maker or OTC

### Execution Parameters

**Recommended Settings:**
- **Slippage Tolerance**: [X]% (based on [Y]% impact + [Z]% buffer)
- **Deadline**: [N] minutes
- **Max Gas Price**: [G] gwei
- **MEV Protection**: [Flashbots/Eden/None]

**Transaction Details:**

From: [Amount] [Token A] To (minimum): [Amount] [Token B] (includes slippage) Route: [Detailed path] Expected gas: [Units] ([Cost] at [gwei])

### Market Conditions

**Liquidity Analysis:**
- [Token A] TVL across DEXs: $[X]M
- [Token B] TVL across DEXs: $[Y]M
- [Token A]/[Token B] total liquidity: $[Z]M

**Volume & Volatility:**
- 24h volume: $[X]
- Volatility: [Low/Medium/High]
- Recommendation: [Add buffer to slippage]

### Risk Factors

️ **Important Considerations:**
- Price impact increases non-linearly with size
- Gas costs provided are estimates
- Mempool congestion may affect execution
- Consider MEV protection for large trades
- Slippage may exceed estimate in volatile markets

### Alternative Strategies

**If poor pricing on DEX:**
-  CEX Transfer: Send to Binance/Coinbase → Swap → Send back
-  Limit Order: Use CoW Swap or 1inch Limit Order
-  OTC: Contact OTC desk for large trades (> $100k)
- ⏰ TWAP: Break into smaller orders over time

### Next Steps

1.  Review recommended route and parameters
2. ️  Configure slippage in your wallet
3.  Double-check token addresses (avoid scams)
4. ⏰ Monitor gas prices for optimal timing
5.  Execute trade via [Recommended DEX/Aggregator]

DEX Characteristics

Uniswap V2

Key Concepts

Price Impact

Price Impact = (Expected Price - Execution Price) / Expected Price

• < 0.5%: Good execution
• 0.5-1%: Acceptable for medium trades
• 1-3%: High, consider splitting

• 3%: Very high, use alternative strategy

Slippage Tolerance

Minimum Received = Expected × (1 - Slippage %)

Recommended settings:

• Stable pairs: 0.1-0.5%
• Major pairs: 0.5-1%
• Volatile pairs: 1-3%
• Low liquidity: 3-5%

Example Queries

Users might ask:

• "Best route to swap 10 ETH for USDC?"
• "Compare Uniswap vs SushiSwap for DAI → USDC"
• "I want to swap $50k USDT to ETH - what's the best strategy?"
• "Why is 1inch giving me better rate than Uniswap?"
• "Should I split my trade across multiple DEXs?"

Important Notes

• Always verify token addresses (scam tokens exist)
• Price impact grows non-linearly with trade size
• Gas costs can exceed gains on small trades
• Consider MEV attacks on large trades
• Use aggregators like 1inch or Paraswap for complex routing
• Slippage protection is critical in volatile markets
• This is routing analysis, not financial advice
