Introducing EMPX | DEX Aggregator

Decentralized, efficient, and optimized for the best trades.

EMPX Swap, a core component of Emperor's Seal, is an advanced on-chain DEX aggregator designed to deliver superior trade execution across blockchain ecosystems. The protocol's primary objective is to maximize the minimum amount received by users, combining efficiency, transparency, and robust security in every swap.

By intelligently sourcing liquidity from multiple decentralized exchanges, EMPX enables users to access optimal pricing through multi-step routing, minimized slippage, and seamless one-click execution.

Key Advantages

• Fully decentralized and censorship-resistant execution via on-chain smart contracts.
• Atomic swaps ("all or nothing") for maximum reliability and security.
• MEV resistance through same-block execution, eliminating opportunities for sandwich attacks and front-running.
• Hybrid architecture — fast off-chain price discovery and route optimization combined with secure on-chain settlement.
• Transparent and verifiable transactions — fully auditable on-chain.
• Scalable design that leverages liquidity across diverse DEX pools and promotes deeper market efficiency.

Optimal Price Discovery & Routing

Multiple decentralized exchanges often provide varying price levels for the same token pair due to temporary liquidity differences or arbitrage lags. EMPX's advanced off-chain routing engine continuously evaluates liquidity across pools to identify the most favorable direct or multi-hop routes (up to 4 hops), factoring in gas costs, pool fees, liquidity depth, and connectivity.

Minimizing Slippage

Slippage arises when large trades impact pool balances, resulting in less favorable execution prices. EMPX mitigates this by splitting and routing trades optimally across available liquidity sources, ensuring users receive the best possible outcome even in lower-liquidity scenarios.

Seamless One-Click Multi-Step Execution

When direct liquidity is insufficient or fragmented across exchanges, EMPX automatically detects and compares multi-step routes to avoid substantial losses. Users benefit from the optimal path with a single transaction — executed atomically through adapter contracts — delivering efficiency without manual intervention.

Reliability & Security

Quoting occurs off-chain for speed and comprehensive analysis, while settlement is performed entirely on-chain via smart contract interactions. This hybrid model guarantees 100% uptime, eliminates reliance on external servers or APIs for the actual swap execution, and ensures trades execute as quoted (or not at all), providing unmatched trust and resilience.

EMPX redefines DEX aggregation by prioritizing decentralization, user protection, and performance — empowering traders with cutting-edge tools for superior outcomes in DeFi.

Routing Strategies

EMPX employs advanced routing algorithms to ensure you get the best possible trade execution. Here are the key strategies used:

1. Normal Hop Route

A single path through one or more intermediate tokens. Best for simple swaps where no direct pair exists.

2. Split Route

The trade is split into multiple independent paths, each routing through different intermediate tokens before aggregating at the output. Best when no single intermediate token dominates liquidity.

3. Converge Route

Input is split across multiple DEXes into a common intermediate token, then merged into a single best route for the final swap. Best for reducing price impact on the entry leg.

4. Converge + Split Route (Hybrid)

Combines both strategies for maximum flexibility. Parts of the trade may converge while others take independent paths. Best for complex, large orders.
