Avalanche DEX
The best DEXes on Avalanche, in one place. Oku compares Avalanche's DEX liquidity in real time and routes your trade through the cheapest path, with no extra fees.
What is a DEX on Avalanche?
A decentralized exchange (DEX) lets you trade tokens on Avalanche directly from your wallet, with no account, no custody, and no middleman. Avalanche's DEX liquidity includes Trader Joe and other onchain venues. Prices and depth differ from one venue to the next, so the best price isn't always in the same place. Oku aggregates Avalanche's DEX liquidity into a single interface: you enter a trade once, and Oku routes it for the best execution. You get the best price on Avalanche without checking venues yourself, and Oku charges 0% fees on top.

What is Avalanche?
Avalanche is a Layer 1 blockchain with a unique subnet architecture: the primary network consists of three interconnected chains (X-Chain for assets, C-Chain for EVM smart contracts, P-Chain for platform coordination), and anyone can launch custom subnets with their own rules, validators, and execution environments. The C-Chain is where most DeFi activity happens and is fully EVM-compatible. AVAX is the native token for gas, staking, and subnet operations. The consensus mechanism (Avalanche Consensus) targets sub-second finality with a large validator set. The ecosystem includes Trader Joe, Benqi, GMX (originally), and a strong institutional presence through subnets used for gaming and enterprise applications. For users, bridging to Avalanche's C-Chain is the standard entry point for DeFi activity on the network.
