The trading experience of DeFi will be redefined. Supported by top institutions such as Pantera Capital, YZi Lab, and OKX Venture, aPriori, which focuses on MEV and liquidity staking infrastructure under the Monad architecture, announces the upcoming launch of Swapr, a DEX aggregator designed for high-performance chains that brings an unprecedented execution experience to DeFi through real-time order flow identification, smart wallet classification, and low-latency routing.
Behind the birth of Swapr is a clear judgment: high latency and unfair ordering remain the core obstacles preventing DeFi from matching the transaction speed of traditional financial trading. The lack of a censorship-resistant execution environment also deters many traditional institutions from deploying capital on-chain.
"A truly financial infrastructure must be not only fast but also stable and fair," said Ray, founder of aPriori. "We hope to reconstruct the transaction execution standards on new-generation high-performance chains like Monad without compromising decentralization."
Swapr: More Than an Aggregator, an Intelligent Order Flow Distribution System
Swapr's greatest feature lies in its built-in order flow identification and classification capabilities. Through a proprietary AI model, Swapr can identify and grade a transaction within 500 milliseconds, guiding healthy, natural "clean orders" to efficient trading pools like the Capricorn private liquidity pool, while routing "toxic traffic" such as sandwich attacks and arbitrage to AMMs with better buffering capabilities, protecting LPs from malicious liquidity erosion.
Swapr's order flow classification is based primarily on:
Transaction Characteristics: Transaction source, wallet type, trading pair volatility, slippage preference, etc.;
Wallet Behavior History: Past transaction style, cross-chain behavior, and fund paths of the address;
Protocol Custom Preferences: Supporting DEX developers to access custom rules for flexible liquidity access strategies.
This means Swapr does not blindly broadcast transactions but "understands" the transaction before deciding where to execute it.
Vertical Architecture Deeply Integrated with Validation Nodes
Swapr is not just a front-end tool but is completely integrated with aPriori's MEV infrastructure, deeply merged with validation nodes, staking modules, and block construction logic.
This design brings three core advantages:
Unified Off-chain and On-chain Paths: Transactions submitted through the same channel as aPriori gain faster confirmation and stronger MEV protection;
Richer Data Training Models: Through private RPC and MEV bundle channels, Swapr obtains massive real transaction intent data, continuously optimizing classification algorithms;
Monad's Parallel EVM Advantage: Transaction execution is no longer a bottleneck, and Swapr can more accurately judge liquidity risks using chain-level performance and historical behavior data.
Ray emphasizes: "Judging whether an AI classification model is useful is not about how 'smart the algorithm is,' but whether users can obtain better prices on our platform than elsewhere. That is the hardest indicator."
Next Steps: Broader, Deeper, Faster
Swapr's upcoming updates include:
Multi-chain wallet behavior clustering and dataset expansion
New time series model to identify "new types of toxic traffic"
Further modular integration with more Monad native DEX modules to compress transaction latency
Ray states: "We believe that in the future, users should enjoy the same execution experience when exchanging stablecoins or executing transactions on-chain as they do on centralized exchanges. And building this experience starts with Swapr."
The team behind Swapr, comprising members from Jump, Coinbase, Citadel Securities, and dYdX, combines the professional capabilities of traditional high-frequency trading with native on-chain technology, and is creating a truly next-generation trading foundation for DeFi
