# Smart Routing Engine

**WHY ROUTING MATTERS**

• Pain point: Liquidity is scattered across many DEXs; naïve swaps suffer high slippage and fees.&#x20;

• Goal: Return the optimal route—by amount or cost—faster than a blink.

**CORE CAPABILITIES**

• Multi-factor path scoring – What it does: Weighs maximum output, total cost, gas and fees. – Benefit: Always gets the best deal.

• Multi-hop routing and order splitting – What it does: Breaks one swap into N pieces and executes them in parallel. – Benefit: Lower slippage and stronger MEV resistance.

**KEY FACTS**

PinkPunk used to do routing with famous dex aggregators, no matter what third party provider, the time consumption of locating a usable path would be **over 150ms** for certain. \
\
By developing our own routing engine, we successfully compress that time to **50ms max**, in most of the cases, the number would be around **20ms**.

| Action            | With 3rd party dex aggregator | With PinkPunk routing engine                 |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Routing           | \~150ms                       | <mark style="color:green;">**<50ms**</mark>  |
| Full Swap Process | \~750ms                       | <mark style="color:green;">**<150ms**</mark> |
