Kamino’s Meta-Swap leverages Pyth Network’s Express Relay to deliver a CEX-quality trading experience with transparency, self-custody, and composability
LONDON, April 2, 2025 (Bitwire) — Pyth Network (“Pyth”), the universal price layer powering the next generation of finance, and DeFi protocol Kamino Finance today announced the launch of Meta-Swap, a next-generation swap router built to redefine what on-chain finance can do. Kamino Swap’s Meta-Swap is powered by Pyth Network’s Express Relay and offers highly competitive price execution found only in CeFi.
Competitive price execution means tight spreads and fast, reliable trades for DeFi users; this is what Kamino Finance calls “CEX-like performance.” Instead of plugging into a single DEX or DEX aggregator—and being subject to liquidity fragmentation, protocol fees, or MEV—Meta-Swap broadcasts every swap to a network of searchers via Express Relay.
Meta-Swap runs active simulations to ensure swaps execute successfully and at accurate prices, removing failed transactions and inflated quote estimates from the user experience entirely. This results in no more inaccurate quotes, no more failed swaps, and no more mid-quote checks or on-swap validation.
“Meta Swap, powered by Pyth’s Express Relay, is bringing CEX-level execution to DeFi, without the MEV tax,”said Mike Cahill, CEO of Dourouoro Labs, a leading contributor to Pyth Network. “For the first time, traders are going to get the best possible price without any interference. This will make decentralized trading as fair, fast, and efficient as it is on centralized exchanges, thereby leveling the playing field between DeFi and CeFi to give all participants access to a borderless global financial market.”
Express Relay makes “tipping” users, MEV elimination, and best price execution uniquely possible. It offers a secure auction environment for protocols to submit transaction opportunities to a network of top searchers. Searchers include Flow Traders, Wintermute, Auros, Caladan, Flowdesk, Tokka Labs, Selini, Swaap Finance, Amber Group.
“Meta Swap is finally bringing the decentralized Nasdaq promise to Solana users—making high-performance trading a reality on Solana,” said Marius Ciubotariu, cofounder of Kamino Finance. “Kamino’s active simulation algorithm, together with the Pyth’s Express Relay auction network, constantly scans a wide pool of routes and searchers to deliver best execution on every trade.”
Kamino Meta-Swap joins Kamino’s Limit Orders—launched in December 2024 with Express Relay —which have already surpassed $200M in volume and distributed nearly $100,000 in user tips .
Together, Limit Orders, Meta-Swap, and an upcoming DCA product (to be powered by Express Relay) form a comprehensive trading suite designed for all types of users: from degens and casual traders to whales and institutions.
