Routing Algorithm

The IXFI Protocol employs a sophisticated multi-dimensional routing algorithm that optimizes for multiple factors including price, gas costs, slippage, and execution reliability across all supported DEXes and chains.

Algorithm Overview

The routing engine uses a hybrid approach combining:

1. Graph-based pathfinding for multi-hop routes

2. Dynamic programming for optimal split optimization

3. Machine learning for gas price prediction and slippage estimation

4. Real-time liquidity monitoring for route validation

5. Historical performance analysis for reliability scoring

Core Routing Components

1. Liquidity Graph Construction

The algorithm builds a dynamic liquidity graph where:

• Nodes represent tokens on different chains

• Edges represent available trading pairs with associated costs

• Weights combine multiple factors (price impact, fees, gas costs)

class LiquidityGraph {
    constructor() {
        this.nodes = new Map(); // tokenAddress -> NodeData
        this.edges = new Map(); // edgeId -> EdgeData
        this.chainBridges = new Map(); // chainId -> bridges
        this.lastUpdate = new Map();
    }

    buildGraph(supportedTokens, supportedDEXes, supportedChains) {
        // Build nodes for each token on each chain
        for (const chain of supportedChains) {
            for (const token of supportedTokens) {
                const nodeId = `${chain.id}:${token.address}`;
                this.nodes.set(nodeId, {
                    chainId: chain.id,
                    tokenAddress: token.address,
                    tokenSymbol: token.symbol,
                    decimals: token.decimals,
                    isNative: token.isNative,
                    bridges: this.getAvailableBridges(token, chain.id)
                });
            }
        }

        // Build edges for each DEX pair
        for (const chain of supportedChains) {
            for (const dex of supportedDEXes.filter(d => d.chainId === chain.id)) {
                this.addDEXEdges(dex, chain.id);
            }
        }

        // Add cross-chain bridge edges
        this.addBridgeEdges(supportedChains);
    }

    addDEXEdges(dex, chainId) {
        const pairs = this.getDEXPairs(dex);

                fee: pair.fee,
                liquidity: pair.liquidity,
                lastUpdate: Date.now(),
                gasEstimate: this.estimateDEXGas(dex.type),
                reliability: dex.reliability || 0.99
            });

            // Add reverse edge
            const reverseEdgeId = `${chainId}:${dex.name}:${pair.tokenB}:${pair.tokenA}`;
            this.edges.set(reverseEdgeId, {

                tokenB: pair.tokenA
            });
        }
    }

2. Multi-Dimensional Pathfinding

The core pathfinding algorithm uses a modified Dijkstra's algorithm with multiple optimization criteria:

    }

        if (this.cache.has(cacheKey)) {
            const cached = this.cache.get(cacheKey);

            }

3. Route Splitting and Optimization

For large trades, the algorithm can split orders across multiple DEXes to minimize price impact:

        return bestSplit.efficiency > singleRoute.efficiency ? bestSplit.routes : [singleRoute];
    }

Performance Optimizations

1. Parallel Route Discovery

class ParallelRouteFinder {
    constructor(maxConcurrency = 10) {
        this.maxConcurrency = maxConcurrency;
        this.semaphore = new Semaphore(maxConcurrency);
    }

    async findRoutesParallel(requests) {
        const chunks = this.chunkArray(requests, this.maxConcurrency);
        const allResults = [];

        for (const chunk of chunks) {
            const chunkPromises = chunk.map(request => 
                this.semaphore.acquire().then(release => 
                    this.findRoute(request).finally(release)
                )
            );
            
            const chunkResults = await Promise.allSettled(chunkPromises);
            allResults.push(...chunkResults);
        }

        return allResults
            .filter(result => result.status === 'fulfilled')
            .map(result => result.value);
    }

    chunkArray(array, chunkSize) {
        const chunks = [];
        for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i += chunkSize) {
            chunks.push(array.slice(i, i + chunkSize));
        }
        return chunks;
    }
}

2. Intelligent Caching

class RoutingCache {
    constructor() {
        this.routeCache = new LRU({ max: 1000 });
        this.quoteCache = new LRU({ max: 5000 });
        this.liquidityCache = new LRU({ max: 2000 });
    }

    getCachedRoute(key, maxAge = 30000) {
        const cached = this.routeCache.get(key);
        if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < maxAge) {
            return cached.route;
        }
        return null;
    }

    cacheRoute(key, route) {
        this.routeCache.set(key, {
            route,
            timestamp: Date.now()
        });
    }

    getCachedQuote(dexName, tokenA, tokenB, amountIn, maxAge = 15000) {
        const key = `${dexName}:${tokenA}:${tokenB}:${amountIn}`;
        const cached = this.quoteCache.get(key);
        
        if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < maxAge) {
            return cached.quote;
        }
        return null;
    }

    cacheQuote(dexName, tokenA, tokenB, amountIn, quote) {
        const key = `${dexName}:${tokenA}:${tokenB}:${amountIn}`;
        this.quoteCache.set(key, {
            quote,
            timestamp: Date.now()
        });
    }
}

Advanced Features

Machine Learning Integration

The routing algorithm incorporates ML models for:

1. Gas Price Prediction: Predicting optimal transaction timing

2. Slippage Estimation: More accurate slippage predictions based on historical data

3. Liquidity Prediction: Anticipating liquidity changes

4. Route Success Probability: Estimating the likelihood of successful execution

Dynamic Rebalancing

For routes that cross multiple chains or take significant time, the algorithm supports dynamic rebalancing:

class DynamicRebalancer {
    async monitorAndRebalance(routeExecution) {
        const monitoring = setInterval(async () => {
            const currentState = await this.checkExecutionState(routeExecution);
            
            if (this.shouldRebalance(currentState)) {
                const newRoute = await this.findAlternativeRoute(
                    currentState.remainingSteps,
                    currentState.currentAmount
                );
                
                if (newRoute.efficiency > currentState.projectedEfficiency * 1.05) {
                    await this.executeRebalance(routeExecution, newRoute);
                }
            }
        }, 30000); // Check every 30 seconds

        routeExecution.on('complete', () => clearInterval(monitoring));
        routeExecution.on('failed', () => clearInterval(monitoring));
    }
}

Best Practices

Route Selection Criteria

1. Minimize Price Impact: Prioritize routes with lower slippage

2. Optimize Gas Efficiency: Consider gas costs relative to trade size

3. Balance Speed vs Cost: Offer fast and economical route options

4. Ensure Reliability: Factor in DEX and bridge uptime history

5. Liquidity Awareness: Validate sufficient liquidity before execution

Error Handling

1. Graceful Degradation: Fall back to simpler routes if complex ones fail

2. Real-time Validation: Verify routes before execution

3. Partial Execution: Support partial fills for large orders

4. Rollback Capability: Ability to reverse failed multi-step routes

Performance Monitoring

1. Route Success Rates: Track execution success by route type

2. Slippage Accuracy: Monitor predicted vs actual slippage

3. Gas Estimation: Validate gas estimates against actual usage

4. Execution Time: Track route completion times
