Core Features — Why OpenOcean Aggregates Better
OpenOcean is designed to remove fragmentation — delivering a single interface that intelligently sources price and liquidity across multiple venues. The platform is ideal for traders seeking best-price execution and developers who want composable DeFi building blocks.
How OpenOcean Works
At its core, OpenOcean collects order book data, AMM curves, and bridge quotes in real time. The routing engine evaluates gas, slippage, and liquidity depth to compute a composite route that often combines parts of liquidity from several sources. This splitting approach improves execution price and reduces market impact.
For Traders & Liquidity Providers
Traders gain access to consolidated liquidity and lower transaction cost. Liquidity providers benefit from increased flow and aggregated fee income. Both parties can monitor real-time analytics — TVL, volume, and slippage — directly in the OpenOcean dashboard.
