Reading the Route Diagram

Expanding the Route row under any quote reveals a multi-lane diagram of exactly how the trade will execute.

Anatomy of a lane

Each row of the diagram is one lane of the split:

[inToken] — [pill: protocol + %] — [hop: pair + fee] … — [outToken] outAmount
  • Input token terminal — the token you're selling, at the far left.
  • Protocol pill — labels the lane's protocol (v2, v3, v4, or a mix like v3+v4) and its percent share of the total trade.
  • Hop nodes — each hop shows the input/output pair icons and the pool fee tier (e.g. 0.3%). Multi-hop lanes have several hop nodes chained together.
  • Intermediate token badges — between hops, the intermediate token is labeled with its icon and symbol.
  • Output token terminal — the token you're receiving, at the far right.
  • Per-lane output — the amount this lane contributes to the total, shown at the far right of each row.

Special indicators

  • A small amber dot on a hop node marks a hooked Uniswap v4 pool.
  • Lanes are sorted by descending share — the biggest slice of your trade is on top.

What this tells you

At a glance you can confirm:

  • Which protocol versions are being used.
  • Which pools are being touched.
  • Where the bulk of your size is going.
  • Whether your trade goes through an intermediate token (e.g. USDG) rather than direct.

Every lane you see here corresponds one-to-one with a call the settlement contract will make on-chain.
