A DEX aggregator (like 1inch or Jupiter) splits your trade across many DEXs and pools to find the best overall price — instead of you manually checking five exchanges. One transaction, routed optimally.

Why it matters

Aggregation usually beats any single DEX on price and slippage, especially for large trades. The catch is the same as all DeFi routing: you’re trusting the aggregator’s smart contracts *in addition to* every pool it touches. More hops, more code, more risk surface.
