Quote slippage brought on by execution delays is a serious downside with on-chain swaps. As a result of Solana transactions take round 10 seconds (25 blocks) to finish, the value could fluctuate earlier than the commerce is executed. Titan desires to handle this concern by constantly updating quotes in real-time to offer merchants with probably the most correct pricing.
“Titan’s intention is to offer DeFi merchants with the very best costs whereas abstracting away the complexity concerned. As we speak, crypto buying and selling lags behind conventional markets in its order placement design. It’s time for us to improve our infrastructure and shut this hole, and that’s what Titan is designed to do.”
