Titan, the first meta-decentralized exchange aggregator on Solana, announced on March 23 that it had launched its beta platform, offering private access to selected users. The new platform aims to streamline DeFi trading by sourcing and comparing pricing across all existing DEX aggregators while eliminating transaction fees.
Unlike traditional DEX aggregators, which route trades through selected decentralized exchanges, Titan operates as a layer above them. It collects quotes from other aggregators, such as Jupiter and DFlow, and then directs traders to the most optimal path based on price, liquidity, and execution time.
Titan’s approach gives traders access to Solana’s entire on-chain liquidity while applying its own proprietary routing algorithm, Talos. According to the company, Talos outperforms competing algorithms in 80% of cases. It uses precision-based mathematical models that evaluate routing at the basis-point level, enabling more accurate capital deployment across trading pairs.
Real-Time Pricing to Combat Execution Delays
Execution lag remains a persistent issue in DeFi trading. On Solana, trades take roughly 10 to 12 seconds—or about 25 blocks—to complete.
This delay can result in significant price slippage, especially in volatile markets. Titan addresses this by continuously reevaluating quotes, providing users with a real-time stream of updated pricing data.
“Titan’s aim is to provide DeFi traders with the best possible prices while abstracting away the complexity involved,”
Said Chris Chung, Titan’s CEO and co-founder.
“Transaction signing typically takes 10–12 seconds, creating a huge lag and opening the door to MEV bots to exploit this inefficiency.”
Chung stated that Titan was designed to bridge the infrastructure gap between decentralized finance and traditional markets, where order execution is nearly instantaneous.
Funding and Strategic Backing
Titan’s development has been supported by early-stage capital. In September 2024, the company raised $3.5 million in a pre-seed round led by Round13 Digital Asset Fund and Beluga Labs. The funding round enabled Titan to accelerate development and deploy proprietary routing systems such as Talos.
The support from institutional investors reflects growing interest in tools designed to enhance DeFi trading efficiency. Titan’s strategy, including fee-free routing and real-time updates, aligns with investor demand for lower latency and increased price transparency.
The platform’s launch comes as Solana’s user base and trading activity reach new milestones. Data from Ali Charts showed more than 11 million wallets now hold SOL. Despite a dip in trading volume from January’s $258 billion to $105 billion in February, Solana continues to lead in DEX volume.
The network’s stablecoin market cap has also grown sharply, reaching $12.36 billion as of March—a threefold increase since December 2024, according to DefiLlama.
