OKX Trade aims to provide users with one-stop cross-chain aggregation transaction services. Through smart order routing algorithms, we'll find the most efficient swapping routes and split trading amounts across multiple routes in a single transaction to help users buy or sell at the best available price.
Currently, OKX Trade is built on 1inch, an aggregation protocol on the Ethereum blockchain. It has its own smart order routing algorithm that can provide users with the most efficient, seamless, and cost-effective cross-chain experience.

Notes
A cross-chain swap allows for the direct exchange of assets between different blockchains without the requirement for a sequential process. It employs algorithms to discover the most efficient cross-chain route in terms of both cost and time. Presently, OKX DEX is seamlessly connected with over 20 cross-chain bridges and is compatible with 16 different blockchain networks.
It works in finding the best route for bridging Token X on Chain A to Token Y on Chain B. It finds multiple bridging routes via supported DEXes & bridges, considering any swaps that may be needed before/after bridging.
A Decentralized Exchange (DEX) refers to a blockchain-based exchange. Unlike a centralized exchange (CEX), a DEX doesn't store users' funds or personal data on a centralized server, but instead performs on-chain activities including asset custody, orders matching, and clearing thoroughly through underlying smart contracts.
Compared to CEXs, DEXs are featured with:
