100k transactions aint too bad

Brace for impact

practicality > gimmicks Theres a lot of hype infra in crypto that looks great in a launch thread and never actually gets used / is practical long-term. Route is about the boring stuff that actually matters: the best price across every pool and market maker, low-latency quotes & built txs, and every swap simulated before you sign. Every feature shipped has to answer two questions, does this improve our current build, and will people care. Its the same iterative design process that large corporations use to refine their product.

Route Supremacy. we're solving execution on-chain

Wanted to do a quick write-up on two features Route is bringing this week. Here’s how it works on Route and why it matters. JIT routing The problem: a quote is a snapshot. Between quote and inclusion there’s a wallet confirmation screen, a user reading it, sometimes a relayer, then block time. On Robinhood Chain long-tail pools move every block, so the best route at quote time often isn’t the best at fill time. The result is a slippage revert or a worse fill. What JIT does: instead of locking in one route when you quote, the swap stays flexible until it executes. At fill time it’s re-checked against live onchain state, and it only switches routes if the user gets strictly more; otherwise it fills exactly as quoted. No markup, and no slippage kept by us: anything above the quote goes to the user. Where it matters: - Wallets and apps with human-speed signing. 20–60 seconds between quote and send is normal, and that’s exactly when quotes go stale. - Larger orders. The bigger the trade, the more likely a better path appears by execution time. In our testing that was the case for most $25k trades and few small ones. - Delayed execution: relayed transactions, agent actions, orders that fire later. Anything not sent the instant it’s quoted. - Volatile tokens. In a stress test, stale large trades that would have reverted after a sharp move filled roughly 1% better instead. Gasless swaps The problem: a lot of Robinhood Chain users hold USDG and stock tokens but no ETH. “Go buy gas first” kills the trade. What it does: the user signs, Route submits and pays the gas. Tokens only move with the user’s signature, straight into their swap, and the user never grants us open-ended token access. Builders choose per key: User-paid: gas is repaid from the token being swapped, never more than a max the user signs. Sponsored: the app covers gas and the swap is completely free for the user. Where it matters: - Onboarding: someone with USDG and zero ETH can trade on their first visit. For tokens that support permit signatures it’s signatures only, start to finish. - Embedded wallets and agents: sign-only flows, with no gas balances to top up across thousands of wallets. - Consumer apps that want a “no fees” feel: sponsor gas and keep it off the user entirely. If you’re building on Robinhood Chain and want early access, DM me I can get you setup.

Imagine being -$50k, then up $1.6m just to round trip it all. (not me btw)

Hey guys quick update, got a few updates coming out over the next week. Been pushing hard on integrations lately, more apps and teams building on top of route’s api and we’ve been adding a lot of new liquidity sources so routes keep getting better. I think the direction and pmf route is moving into is pretty clear at this point. Lots happening behind the scenes that isn’t public yet, will share more soon. Feeling really good about the future

made this site pretty quickly to show the difference between different dex aggs. Also shows how SDQ quotes in real-time many different use cases for this. not completely polished but will probably keep adding on to this with more case studys as we keep improving the router. Currently the main blocker on our performance is accessing private liquidity. Then if theres a need to deploy additional mirrors in other regions we will go ahead and do that but latency from us-east-1a is pretty decent. metrics.route.fun/

got 4/5 updates in the pipeline im looking forward to sharing them with everyone! I also think that SDQ quotes have fallen under the radar so will post a case study to show off some specific use cases
