Episode notes
Meta-Aggregation Beats Single Routers
- Titan is a Solana meta-DEX aggregator that sits above router-level aggregators and always routes to the best router for price.
- Their own router, Argos, outperformed others on mainnet ~70–75% of the time in private beta.
Precision Optimization Instead Of Chunking
- Titan uses mathematical optimization instead of classical chunked pathfinding to route trades with higher precision.
- That lets Titan include far more pools and find near-optimal splits without e.g. 1–10% chunking limitations.
Team's Low-Latency TradFi Roots
- The Titan team came from a fund where they built low-latency analytics doing tens of thousands of valuations in under a second.
- That TradFi engineering background shaped Titan's focus on low-latency, high-precision routing for Solana.
