In this episode of Web3 with Sam Kamani, I speak with Chris Chung, co-founder of TitanDex, a DEX aggregator built on Solana.
TitanDex aims to provide traders with the best swap prices by aggregating liquidity from multiple DEXs, reducing slippage, front-running, and MEV attacks.
🔹 How TitanDex finds the best prices & outperforms competitors
🔹 The role of DEX aggregators in the evolving Solana DeFi landscape
🔹 Why Solana’s speed & low fees make it ideal for DeFi
🔹 The impact of Fire Dancer & Solana’s future scalability
🔹 What’s next for TitanDex & how users can join the private beta
If you're into DeFi, Solana, or trading, this episode is packed with insights!

1 million TPS scalability—what it means for DeFi & trading.
Why Solana congestion issues aren’t chain failures, but app-side limits.
