What a comparison can tell you.

A source-based matrix of capabilities, not a trading benchmark.

What we compare

Routing model, selected documented chains, API access, conditional MEV claims, fee model and a plausible use case. “Use-case fit” is an editorial interpretation of capabilities, not investment advice.

Two different chain counts

The profile lists selected chains established by documentation. DefiLlama’s tracked-chain count describes the adapter’s coverage and may include historical deployments. It must not be treated as the product’s complete current support matrix.

Volume has a boundary

We request DefiLlama’s aggregator overview through a same-origin PHP endpoint, cache it for 15 minutes and show its fetch time. Data older than one hour is removed. Adapter IDs are mapped explicitly; we do not substitute similarly named products. 0x family volume is not Matcha-only volume; LI.FI DEX volume is not its entire cross-chain business. Aggregators can route through one another, so totals can overlap.

No synthetic winners

We do not simulate provider quotes from pool prices. A meaningful live quote comparison needs identical contracts, chain, amount, time, fee treatment and executable route assumptions. The reference matrix is not that test.

Check workflow

  1. Identify the specific product and official documentation.
  2. Record the mode, network, access conditions and fee scope.
  3. Mark unresolved fields as unknown and keep their limits visible.
  4. Link the evidence, record its review date and accept corrections.
