# Aggregating

#### What is Aggregation?

Aggregation is the process of sourcing liquidity from multiple protocols and determining the most efficient way to execute a transaction.Instead of executing trades through a single DEX or bridge, WheelX evaluates multiple options simultaneously and selects, or constructs, the best possible route.This may include:

* Selecting a single optimal source
* Splitting orders across multiple DEXs
* Combining swap and bridge steps across chains

Routing decisions are optimized to minimize slippage, reduce costs, and ensure fast execution by leveraging the best available liquidity across protocols. In more complex scenarios, WheelX can split orders, use multi-hop paths, or combine bridging and swapping into a single, unified execution flow.
