# DEX Aggregators

> The highest-earning pool type any DEX aggregator can integrate

For DEX aggregators, C1 Pools are the highest-earning pool type available to integrate, and the only liquidity source that mathematically guarantees better user execution on thin-liquidity tokens.

## Why integrate C1 Pools

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="0.30% per trade, permanently" icon="dollar-sign">
    The aggregator share of the 1% seller fee is paid on every routed trade. No commercial negotiation, no decay, no incentive expiry.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Mathematically superior execution" icon="chart-line">
    Zero slippage means the C1 quote always wins the price comparison on supported tokens. Better user execution drives stickier users and higher volume retention.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Stack additional fees on top" icon="layer-group">
    Buyers receive zero slippage. An additional 0.10-0.20% aggregator margin still delivers better net execution than any AMM. C1 routing creates a revenue-stacking opportunity unique in DeFi.
  </Card>

  <Card title="No exclusivity, no relationship dependency" icon="handshake-slash">
    The C1 Pool registry is permissionless. Routing is decided by the aggregator's own price comparison logic. The relationship is mathematical, not commercial.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How the economics compare

A typical Uniswap V3 integration earns the aggregator nothing. The 0.30% LP fee goes entirely to liquidity providers. Aggregators earn from spread capture, gas optimisation or front-end fees, not from pool routing itself.

C1 Pool integration earns on both sides of the trade. The protocol pays 0.30% of every routed trade to the aggregator from the seller fee. Because buyers pay zero protocol fee and receive zero slippage, the aggregator can apply an additional 0.10-0.20% buy-side margin and still deliver better net execution than any AMM.

On a \$100K routed trade, that is \$300 from the seller fee share plus \$100-200 from the buy-side margin. Total aggregator revenue of \$400-500 per execution, compounded across the volume an aggregator already routes.

| Pool type   | Seller-side fee share | Buy-side margin headroom               | Notes                                                      |
| ----------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Uniswap V2  | 0%                    | Limited by AMM slippage                | LP fee captures the entire 0.30%                           |
| Uniswap V3  | 0%                    | Limited by AMM slippage                | Same model, narrower ranges                                |
| RFQ / PMM   | 0%                    | None, PMM captures the spread          | PMM captures the spread                                    |
| **C1 Pool** | **0.30%**             | **0.10-0.20% on top of zero slippage** | **Only pool type that earns the aggregator on both sides** |

## How integration works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Query the registry">
    C1 Pool contracts register with FlowState's liquidity registry on each supported chain. Aggregators look up pools by token or enumerate all deployed pools on the chain. See [Integration Overview](/integration/integration-overview#liquidity-registry).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add to the routing graph">
    C1 Pools are added to the aggregator's routing graph alongside AMMs, RFQ sources and other liquidity venues. The aggregator's existing price comparison logic handles the rest.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Settle on-chain">
    When the router selects C1, settlement is atomic in the same transaction. No off-chain coordination, no signed quotes, no settlement risk.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Earn at settlement">
    The 0.30% aggregator share is distributed at settlement. No batched claims, no end-of-period reconciliation.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Integration timelines vary based on the aggregator's routing architecture. Live integrations have completed in two to four weeks of engineering time.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What if the oracle is wrong?" icon="question">
    C1 Pools include multi-source aggregation, TWAP smoothing, circuit breakers, deposit and withdrawal rate limits and minimum oracle confidence thresholds. See [Audits & Security](/resources/audits-and-security) for the full mitigation set.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the supported chain coverage?" icon="link">
    Live on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and BNB Chain. Additional EVM chains added based on routing demand. Solana support arrives via Oasis (separate brand) on its own roadmap.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is the 0.30% paid?" icon="receipt">
    Distributed at settlement in the trade's base currency (USDC or ETH). No claim transactions required.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the depth like?" icon="ruler">
    Depth scales with depositor coverage per token. Aggregators that integrate early get pool growth as part of their routing improvement curve.
