Why Nordstern
We give builders a faster, deeper, and more reliable way to route trades on every EVM network.
Key features
Ultra-fast quoting — <50ms
Our system calculates millions of swap paths and returns the best route in under 50ms. Fast enough for MEV bots, solvers, and any UX where latency matters.
New chains and tokens on day one
We support new tokens immediately after launch and integrate new chains on day one. Your users never hit a dead end because a token or chain isn't listed yet.
Simulation-verified routes
Every route we return is fully simulated before it reaches you. You only receive paths that are actually executable, resulting in fewer failed transactions, fewer refunds, and happier users.
Non-standard token support
Rebasing, taxed, and fee-on-transfer tokens are fully supported. Where other aggregators fail silently or skip these tokens entirely, Nordstern routes them correctly.
No protocol fees
Nordstern charges no protocol fee per swap. Apply your own custom fee structure via the
convenienceFee parameter, or pass through zero fees to your users.
No rate limits
No API key, no quota, no throttling for normal usage. Build high-frequency applications without worrying about hitting a ceiling. Only automated spam is blocked.
At a glance
Compared to integrating a DEX directly, Nordstern handles routing, simulation, and calldata encoding for you, with no API key, no subscription, and no rate limits standing between you and production traffic.
