# Overview

Alammex is a liquidity aggregator for Algorand, offering best route discovery between any token pair that has liquidity in the ecosystem. 

### Why Alammex?

* Best price, guaranteed: Alammex will always provide the best quote for any swap, compared to any single DEX.
* Speed: Alammex fetches quotes extremely fast (\~1-2 seconds).
* Profit-Based Commissions: Alammex will only charge a commission if it is able to make a profit for the user (compared to the best individual DEX). The majority of profits go to the user, and the commission is only charged if all swap transactions succeed.
* Secure: Alammex only leverages smart contracts that have been audited by trusted sources and endorsed by the Algorand Foundation. 
* Transparent: All costs are displayed up front. What you see is what you get!

## The basic flow

3. Alammex **calculates out all the possible routes** for the token swap.

5. Alammex **ranks each route** by most tokens you will receive (or least tokens you will pay, for fixed output), and displays the swap details for the best route.
6. User clicks to trigger a swap. 
7. User approves the Alammex transactions from their wallet. This may include extra transactions for opting into necessary assets and applications.
