The trading experience in DeFi will be redefined. Supported by top institutions such as Pantera Capital, YZi Lab, and OKX Venture, aPriori, which focuses on MEV and liquid staking infrastructure under the Monad architecture, announces the upcoming launch of Swapr, a DEX aggregator designed for high-performance chains. It brings an unprecedented execution experience to DeFi through real-time order flow identification, smart wallet classification, and low-latency routing.
The birth of Swapr is based on a clear judgment: high latency and unfair ordering remain the core obstacles preventing DeFi from matching the transaction speed of traditional finance. Additionally, the lack of a censorship-resistant execution environment has deterred many traditional institutions from deploying capital on-chain.
"True financial infrastructure must not only be fast but also stable and fair," said Ray, founder of aPriori. "We hope to leverage a new generation of high-performance chains like Monad to reconstruct trading execution standards without sacrificing decentralization."
Swapr: Not just an aggregator, but an intelligent distribution system for order flow
The biggest feature of Swapr lies in its built-in order flow identification and classification capabilities. Through its self-developed AI model, Swapr can complete the identification and grading of a transaction within 500 milliseconds, guiding healthy, natural "clean orders" to efficient trading pools like the Capricorn private liquidity pool; while routing "toxic flow" such as sandwiching and arbitrage to AMMs with greater buffering capacity, ensuring that LPs are not eroded by malicious liquidity.
The classification criteria for Swapr's order flow mainly include:
Trading characteristics: Source of the trade, wallet type, volatility of trading pairs, slippage preferences, etc.;
Wallet behavior history: Past trading styles, cross-chain behavior, and fund paths of the address;
Protocol custom preferences: Supports DEX developers in integrating custom rules to flexibly manage liquidity access strategies.
This means that Swapr does not blindly broadcast trades but decides where to execute only after "understanding" the trade.
Vertically integrated architecture deeply integrated with validation nodes
Swapr is not just a front-end tool; it is fully integrated with aPriori's MEV infrastructure, deeply merging with validation nodes, staking modules, and block construction logic.
This design brings three core advantages:
Unified off-chain and on-chain paths: Trades are submitted through the same channel as aPriori, gaining faster confirmations and stronger MEV protection;
Richer data training models: With private RPC and MEV bundle channels, Swapr obtains a large amount of real trading intent data, continuously optimizing classification algorithms;
Parallel EVM advantages of Monad: Transaction execution is no longer a bottleneck; Swapr can leverage chain-level performance and historical behavior data to more accurately assess liquidity risks.
Ray emphasized: "The usefulness of the AI classification model is not determined by how 'smart' the algorithm is, but by whether users can obtain better prices on our platform than elsewhere. This is the hardest metric."
Next steps: Broader, deeper, faster
A series of updates coming soon for Swapr include:
Multi-chain wallet behavior clustering and dataset expansion
New time series models to identify "new types of toxic flow"
Modular integration with more Monad native DEXs to further reduce transaction latency
Ray stated: "We believe that in the future, users should enjoy the same execution experience when exchanging stablecoins or executing trades on-chain as they do on centralized exchanges. Building such an experience starts with Swapr."
The team behind Swapr consists of members from Jump, Coinbase, Citadel Securities, and dYdX, combining expertise in traditional high-frequency trading with on-chain native technology, and is working to create a truly next-generation trading foundation for DeFi.
