Mind the gap

Know the real number.

The price you see is not the value you keep. GAPLINE measures the gap between them (price, fees and gas, against an independent reference) before you trade.

Demo model with example prices. Not live data, not a trade, not financial advice. The gap in the diagram is drawn far larger than life so you can see it.

01Anatomy of a gap

$6.89 didn't just vanish.

Every gap is split into the parts that caused it, so you know what you paid for and what nobody told you.

How the gap for the example trade breaks down. The same numbers are listed in the table below.

    Impact share

    When a provider does not separate price impact, it is shown as unknown instead of a guess.

    The gap

    Every part counted once. Together they are the difference between the price you see and what you keep.

    −0.57%−$6.89

02Liquidity

Size changes the price.

An asset has no single price you can sell at. The bigger the trade, the more of the pool it eats, and the wider the gap opens.

Example curve from the demo model. Drag across the chart, or pick a size. Each size would be its own live quote.

03Routes

Same asset. Different outcome.

The best price is not always the best result. GAPLINE ranks routes by what you would actually keep, with fees and gas counted once.

05Principles

Built to be believed.

  1. i

    Unknown stays unknown.

    Missing data is shown with its reason. Nothing is set to zero to look complete.

  2. ii

    The benchmark is independent.

    The reference price never comes from the quote it is judging.

  3. iii

    Ranking is not for sale.

    Fees, referrals and token holdings never move a route up.

  4. iv

    Read-only. Always.

    No signing, no transactions, nothing stored to check a trade.
