PawSwap Network Overview: Architecture & Execution Model
PawSwap Network is a non-custodial aggregator. The route planner scans AMM pools (stable/volatile),
requests RFQ quotes from market makers, and selects the path with the best expected net output.
Settlement is recorded on-chain via PawSwap Chain contracts — your keys and funds remain under your control.
Core Components
- Route Planner: Single-hop, multi-hop, and split-route; penalizes gas-heavy paths.
- RFQ Layer: Firm quotes for a target size and time window — useful for thin markets or large orders.
- Execution Kernel: Packs approve + swap, enforces strict min-out, and fails fast on adverse re-quotes.
- Risk Controls: Token allow/deny lists, target contract validation, and a minimal-allowance policy.
Best Execution — What We Actually Optimize
- Price impact: Order splitting and stable pivots smooth the curve.
- Explicit fees: Pool fee tiers plus any partner/interface fees (always disclosed).
- Gas: More hops → more gas; the optimum is chosen by net, not by the raw quote.
- Fill risk: Firm RFQ vs. indicative AMM pricing during turbulence.
MEV-Aware on PawSwap Chain
Realistic slippage, private/builder RPC (where available), chunking large orders, and higher priority fees
reduce mempool time and the surface for sandwich attacks.
PawSwap Security & Operational Safety
PawSwap Exchange settles directly to your wallet. Treat the process like production:
verify contracts, minimize allowances, and review the route preview carefully.
Wallet & Allowance Hygiene
- Use a hardware wallet for significant balances; confirm the contract/recipient on-device.
- Approve only the minimum required; revoke stale approvals regularly.
- Bookmark the official PawSwap Network domain; ignore “support” DMs.
Threat Model & Mitigations
- Sandwich/front-run: Tight slippage, private relays, splitting orders, and higher tips if needed.
- Impostor tokens: Verify addresses in the PawSwap Chain explorer and official docs.
- Fee-on-transfer tokens: Affect min-out and economics; always test with a small size first.
PawSwap Network Power Features for Traders & Integrators
Smart Order Routing (AMM + RFQ)
Direct A→B, hub pivots (e.g., A→WETH→B), and split-routes are compared. If RFQ wins after gas,
PawSwap Exchange takes RFQ; otherwise, the best AMM composite is selected.
Limit Orders & DCA (if enabled in your UI)
- Limit: Triggers at your target price; partial fills/expiry are possible.
- DCA: Time-stagger entries/exits; keep enough gas for each leg.
Developer Notes
- Deterministic calldata; explicit revert reasons (slippage/allowance/route invalidation).
- Events: hops, min-out, gas used, realized output — ready for BI/analytics.
- UX: pool type, fee tier, and token verification status visible at a glance.
Execution KPIs
- Quoted ↔ Realized Output (delta after settlement).
- Effective price = received/spent with gas and fees included.
- TVL/Volume of involved pools as a proxy for slippage risk.
- Fail/Cancel rate — a signal to retune slippage and RPC.
Runbook: Consistent Results on PawSwap Network
Before You Swap
- Hold native gas (approve + swap + potential retry).
- Verify token addresses/decimals; be careful with “taxed” tokens.
- Make a micro-swap to validate the route and min-out.
Slippage & Gas
- Majors / deep: 0.10–0.50%.
- Mid-caps: 0.50–1.50% depending on depth.
- Illiquid: 1.50%+; split the order or use RFQ.
Troubleshooting
- INSUFFICIENT_OUTPUT_AMOUNT → refresh the quote, widen slippage slightly, split the size.
- TRANSFER_FROM_FAILED → re-approve the minimum; check for non-standard token behavior.
- Pending → switch RPC or raise priority fee; use private relays if available.
PawSwap Frequently Asked Questions
How is PawSwap Network different from PawSwap Exchange?
PawSwap Network provides routing and execution; PawSwap Exchange is the interface where you assemble trades on PawSwap Chain.
How is the best price achieved?
By comparing AMM paths and RFQ quotes with gas accounted for, penalizing “expensive” hops, and splitting routes on size — the result is the best effective price.
Which wallets work with PawSwap Chain?
Any EVM wallet (MetaMask, Rabby via WalletConnect, etc.). Keep native gas ready for approve/swap.
How do I reduce MEV risk?
- Tight slippage and avoid stormy volatility windows.
- Private/builder RPC for size + split the trade.
- Higher priority fee → smaller attack window.
Do limit orders and DCA require custody?
No. Orders are handled by contracts/watchers; settlement is on-chain to your wallet when conditions are met. Always review the UI’s specific permissions.
