1. aPriori is launching Swapr, a DEX aggregator designed specifically for high-performance chains, aiming to bring unprecedented execution experience to DeFi through real-time order flow identification, intelligent wallet classification, and low-latency routing. 2. Swapr's key feature is its built-in order flow identification and classification capability. Using a proprietary AI model, it identifies and grades a transaction within 500 milliseconds, directing healthy orders to efficient trading pools and routing "toxic flow" such as sandwich attacks and arbitrage to more resilient AMMs. 3. Swapr deeply integrates with aPriori's MEV infrastructure, providing unified on-chain and off-chain pathing, richer data training models, and leveraging Monad's parallel EVM advantages to more accurately assess liquidity risks. 4. Upcoming updates to Swapr include multi-chain wallet behavior clustering and dataset expansion, a new time-series model to identify "novel toxic flows," and further integration with additional Monad-native DEX modules to further reduce transaction latency. 5. The team behind Swapr includes members from Jump, Coinbase, Citadel Securities, and dYdX, combining expertise from traditional high-frequency trading with on-chain native technology to establish the next-generation trading infrastructure for DeFi.

The DeFi transaction experience is set to be redefined. Backed by top institutions such as Pantera Capital, YZi Lab, OKX Venture, etc., focusing on MEV and liquidity provisioning infrastructure under the Monad architecture, aPriori has officially launched Swapr, a DEX aggregator designed for high-performance chains. Through real-time order flow identification, intelligent wallet classification, and low-latency routing, Swapr brings an unprecedented execution experience to DeFi.

Behind the birth of Swapr lies a clear judgment: high latency and unfair ordering remain core obstacles that DeFi cannot match the speed of traditional financial transactions. The lack of a censorship-resistant execution environment has also made many traditional institutions hesitate to deploy capital on-chain.

"True financial infrastructure must not only be fast but also stable and fair." stated Ray, founder of aPriori. "We hope to leverage next-generation high-performance chains like Monad to reconstruct the transaction execution standard without sacrificing decentralization."

Swapr: Not Just an Aggregator, But Also an Intelligent Order Flow Distribution System

Swapr's key feature lies in its built-in order flow identification and classification capabilities. Through its proprietary AI model, Swapr can complete the identification and grading of a transaction within 500 milliseconds, guiding healthy, natural "clean orders" to efficient trading pools like the Capricorn private liquidity pool; while toxic flows such as sandwich attacks and arbitrage are routed to AMMs with greater buffering capacity, safeguarding LPs from malicious liquidity erosion.

The criteria for Swapr's order flow classification mainly include:

· Transaction characteristics: transaction source, wallet type, pair volatility, slippage preference, etc.;
· Wallet behavioral history: address's past transaction styles, cross-chain behavior, and fund paths;
· Protocol-specific preferences: supporting DEX developers to access custom rules, flexibly managing liquidity access strategies.

This means that Swapr does not blindly broadcast transactions but only decides where to execute after "understanding" the transaction.

Vertical Architecture Deeply Integrated with Validator Nodes

Swapr is not just a frontend tool but fully integrated into aPriori's MEV infrastructure, deeply merging with validator nodes, staking modules, and block construction logic.

This design brings three core advantages:

· Unified Off-chain and On-chain Paths: Transactions are submitted through the same channel as aPriori, enabling faster confirmation and stronger MEV protection;
· Richer Data for Training Models: Leveraging private RPC and MEV bundle channels, Swapr obtains a large amount of real transaction intent data to continuously optimize the classification algorithm;
· Parallel EVM Advantages of Monad: Transaction execution is no longer a bottleneck, as Swapr can utilize chain-level performance and historical behavioral data to more accurately assess liquidity risk.

Ray emphasized: "The key to judging the usefulness of an AI classification model is not how 'smart' the algorithm is, but whether users can get better prices on our platform than elsewhere. That's the ultimate metric."

Next Steps: Broader, Deeper, Faster

Upcoming updates from Swapr include:

· Multi-chain Wallet Behavior Clustering and Dataset Expansion
· New time series models to identify "novel toxic flows"
· Further integration with more Monad-native DEX modules to further reduce transaction latency

Ray stated: "We believe that in the future, when users exchange stablecoins on-chain or execute transactions, they should enjoy the same execution experience as centralized exchanges. And building such an experience starts with Swapr."
