Hello Dex Aggregators!

We are excited to announce that we’ve integrated with some more Dex aggregators (1inch protocol, 0x protocol, and Paraswap protocol). A DEX aggregator is used to access a range of different liquidity pools from one single platform, and ultimately provide the user with crypto at the best price, with the lowest transaction cost and movement in price. The 3 protocols provide access to several exchanges like Uniswap, Sushiswap, Sakeswap, etc. Of these exchanges, the best price is being fed to our portal.
