Anyone else think it's time to move past the current DEX aggregators? We're basically subsidizing these platforms while they sit there collecting traffic. And we keep throwing money at them to dodge the pump-and-dump schemes they've helped enable anyway.

I've sunk fees into 60+ different exchanges throughout this year alone. That's insane. There's gotta be a smarter approach—better routing, lower costs, something. The current setup feels pretty backwards when you think about where the value actually goes.

nah this is just the beginning of the fee extraction cycle. been here since mt. gox, seen this movie before. the real question is who's actually profiting while retail gets bled dry

arguably the routing inefficiencies here reveal some pretty sub-optimal incentive structures... path dependency's a hell of a drug tbh

To be honest, the fees across 60+ exchanges are indeed outrageous, but isn't that just the cost of liquidity fragmentation... How could there be a perfect solution?

Honestly, current DEX aggregators are just vampires. We feed them traffic, and they turn around and cut us.
