Kyber Network, a renowned decentralized liquidity entity, has unveiled Smart Settlement. Smart Settlement is a unique on-chain execution platform to improve swap efficiency, increase token output, and minimize slippage across EVM-compatible blockchain networks. According to Kyber Network’s official announcement on social media, the new initiative aims to address the difference between actual execution results and quoted prices. Therefore, KyberSwap attempts to turn swap execution into a relatively adaptive process by allowing updating of routing decisions during transfer settlement.

Kyber Network Unveils Smart Settlement to Improve EVM Swap Execution
KyberSwap’s launch of Smart Settlement focuses on reducing slippage and increasing swap efficiency in EVM-enabled blockchain ecosystems. As new DEX aggregators scan various liquidity sources to detect effective routes, there is the potential for market conditions to change rapidly in the lead-up to a transfer settlement.
Liquidity changes, token volatility and dynamically changing spreads from efficient market makers and leading activities can often lead to lower token revenues for consumers compared to initial expectations. Furthermore, the conventional DEX aggregators determine the best swap path prior to submitting the transfer on-chain. While this procedure works effectively in a stable market environment, it exposes traders to many execution risks.
At the same time, liquidity providers have the ability to change pool depth, fast meme coin markets can make previous routes obsolete before they are confirmed, and PropAMMs can widen spreads after receiving order flow. Such changes often result in a trade-off for consumers between setting strict slippage restrictions that risk a failed transfer, or broader slippage settings that increase their exposure to MEV attacks and poor execution.
Delivers more efficient swap routing on EVM chains without additional costs or steps
With this in mind, KyberSwap’s Smart Settlement provides an intuitive layer for real-time execution. This initiative is built on top of KyberSwap’s existing Dynamic Trade Routing model and prepares different liquidity pools to serve each of the swap routes. Furthermore, when the transfer is performed, the platform compares the respective pools on the chain to automatically choose the one that offers the maximum token output. Currently, this feature is live on supported EVM blockchains with no additional protocol fees or steps for consumers.
