GUIDE

Route Explorer

A swap box shows you one number: the route its aggregator picked. The Route Explorer asks for the same trade several ways so you can see how much that choice is worth, and how much a single pool or a single venue would cost you instead.

The six rows

Best route
Every venue the aggregator knows, split and hopped however it finds best. This is the reference every other row is measured against.
One pool, no hops
The best single pool that trades the pair directly. Useful when you want the simplest possible transaction.
Raydium pools only
Only pools from this venue family (Raydium, Raydium CLMM, Raydium CP). A row saying "no route" means the family has no pool for this pair at this size.
Orca pools only
Only pools from this venue family (Whirlpool, Orca V2). A row saying "no route" means the family has no pool for this pair at this size.
Meteora pools only
Only pools from this venue family (Meteora DLMM, Meteora DAMM v2, Meteora). A row saying "no route" means the family has no pool for this pair at this size.
pump.fun AMM only
Only pools from this venue family (Pump.fun Amm). A row saying "no route" means the family has no pool for this pair at this size.

Reading a row

  1. 01
    Output
    What the route returns for your exact input, in the output token. Pool fees are already taken out; Luxra adds none.
  2. 02
    Vs best
    The gap to the best route in basis points. −25 bps on a $10,000 trade is about $25 less.
  3. 03
    Impact
    The price impact figure the aggregator reports for that route. For deep pairs it is often near zero; the fill-cost ladder below is a better guide for size.
  4. 04
    Min received
    Output reduced by your slippage setting: the least the trade would accept on chain before it fails. It is computed as the aggregator does, rounding down.
  5. 05
    Path
    Each leg with its share of the order, the tokens it swaps and the venue. Intermediate hops show up as extra legs.

Fill cost by size

The home page preview and every pool page can measure a ladder: the same pair sold at eight sizes from $1,000 to $500,000, each compared with a $100 trade. The bar shows how much worse each size fills, as a percentage. It answers a practical question that one quote cannot: how big can my order get before the market starts charging for it?

The ladder uses live quotes, so it is only as fresh as its last read; it is cached for ten minutes because it takes nine requests to build.

Slippage, honestly

  • Slippage is a limit you set, not a cost you pay. A tighter setting protects you but fails more often in fast markets.
  • The Route Explorer accepts settings from 0.01% to 5%. Above that, a sandwich attack has room to take the difference.
  • Quotes move with every block. Treat any number here as a snapshot and confirm the final amount in your wallet.

Where it stops

It never builds a transaction, never asks for a signature, never routes an order through Luxra, and never takes a fee. If a row looks right, take it in your own wallet or venue. Open the Route Explorer.
