## How Byreal Finds the Best Price

Byreal's dual-execution engine evaluates multiple liquidity sources in real time and routes your trade through the optimal path:

* **Onchain execution (AMM):** Trades route through Byreal's native CLMM pools and aggregated external AMMs (Raydium, Orca, Meteora). You pay a pool-specific swap fee (e.g., 0.01%, 0.10%, 0.20%) plus a small Solana network fee.
* **Off-chain execution (RFQ):** For supported pairs and trade sizes, Byreal connects directly with off-chain market makers and CEX order books. RFQ quotes offer zero price impact, zero slippage, and no gas fees so you get a firm, guaranteed price.
* **External aggregation:** Byreal also sources prices from leading Solana AMMs to ensure the deepest possible liquidity and best available rate.
