I recently faced such a problem that when trying to swap a token one for another (I was swapping tokens in $TON blockchain, #USDT for #PX ), the price impact was high and I was not able to do it with low slippage, which made the exchange rate not quite favorable.
I later realized it was due to lack of liquidity in the liquidity pool on the DEX where I was trying to do this. I tried a bunch of different platforms looking for the place with the most liquidity and wondered “why can't I just combine all these DEXs into one and get virtually zero slippage?”.
Turns out you can, and all DEXs have already been combined. On the #TON blockchain, where I was trying to swap tokens, the Omniston Protocol was launched, which combines all sources of liquidity in one place and allows for the best possible swap.
Moreover, I did a whole experiment and here are the results:
— When I swap 250 USDT for PX on DeDust, I get 3,157 PX
— When I swap 250 USDT to PX via Omniston, I get 3,198 PX.
The difference is quite noticeable, and just now we proved that this way of pooling liquidity is really useful and I did get more PX.
