Why V4 Drift Matters
Smarter Routing-Optimized for Every Trade
V4 Drift's enhanced algorithm dynamically adapts to market conditions with smarter route selection to secure the best rate for every trade. V4 Drift breaks each trade into smaller, highly optimized segments across diverse liquidity sources and intelligently chooses the most efficient paths to maximize liquidity utilization and deliver optimal pricing. The upgraded algorithm is now fully live, powering every swap on OpenOcean and consistently providing better prices for traders of all sizes.
Expanded Coverage with the Most Chains and Tokens Available
OpenOcean now spans 40+ chains, making it the leading DEX aggregator with the widest coverage on chains and tokens. It integrates liquidity from major EVM networks and L2s (Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, and Avalanche), non-EVM chains (Solana, Sui), and other trending chains (Linea, Hyperliquid, Monad, TAC). This broad coverage and smarter pool utilization keep execution smooth and reliable, enabling seamless swaps-including cross-chain trades-so traders can access almost any asset in DeFi from a single interface.
Supported By the Deepest Liquidity
OpenOcean now aggregates over 99% of available liquidity across the DeFi market, including top AMM pools such as Uniswap V4, Balancer V3, PancakeSwap Infinity, Curve, and RFQ liquidity from private market makers (PMMs), and launchpads like Virtuals, PumpFun. By intelligently combining these diverse liquidity sources, V4 Drift ensures every trade-whether swaps, multi-chain trades, or token launches-executes at the most efficient rates, delivering consistently better pricing and seamless access to DeFi assets.

OpenOcean's V4 Drift API combines high-performance routing, faster response times, and consistently better swap prices across chains. Capable of handling 1,000+ requests per second, it ensures smooth, reliable performance even during peak trading activity-ideal for high-frequency trading such as arbitrage, trading bots, wallets, and various DeFi dApps.
