# 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 1. User enters in the **tokens they want to swap**. 2. User enters in the **amount of tokens** they want to swap for (fixed input or fixed output). 3. Alammex **calculates out all the possible routes** for the token swap. 4. Alammex **fetches the quotes** for each of those routes and returns the amount of tokens you will receive per route. This includes all fees. 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. 8. Alammex executes the swap. ## Want to deep dive?
