# Economic optimization of swaps

zSwap uses advanced algorithms to identify the optimal routing path for trade execution while allowing the user to choose other sub-optimal options if that is their preference. It provides an optimized user experience by automatically defaulting to the platform with the least price impact based on the trade variables that the user wishes to execute.

Additionally, zSwap calculates the difference between the best available opportunity and the rest in terms of the price impact of each DEX (e.g. a trade could feature a 2% impact in Curve as opposed to a 0.3% impact in Uniswap). In the future, zSwap might be expanded to support more DEX integrations to allow further diversity of asset flow and access to deeper liquidity.
