Let’s talk about DEX aggregators.
Aggregators may also route swaps through an intermediate token in multiple steps, such as swapping A for ETH first, then ETH for B.
One thing worth considering is that splitting a swap also has a cost: each additional pool uses more gas, and for smaller amounts, the price improvement may not be enough to cover the extra gas.
When swapping through an aggregator, you should also set a slippage limit. If it’s too high, sandwich traders may take a bigger cut.
When swapping through an aggregator on Ethereum, pay $ETH in gas; $1INCH is 1inch’s governance token. Currently 2462.3.
