# Introduction

Astrolescent is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator on the Radix network that provides you with the best trading routes for your swaps. By analyzing all leading DEXes, Astrolescent ensures you get the optimal price, maximizing the number of tokens you receive. For larger trades, the algorithm splits up trades across multiple DEXes to minimize price impact, further enhancing your returns.

By using Astrolescent, you automatically participate in the weekly airdrop, and by staking its token, $ASTRL, you receive a share of the fees generated by Astrolescent’s aggregator, bridge, limit order, pools, and validator node.
