# Welcome 👋🏼

[Soroswap.Finance ](https://docs.soroswap.finance/readme)is the first DEX and exchange aggregator built on [Stellar](https://stellar.org), powered by smart contracts on [Soroban](https://stellar.org/soroban).\
\
If you’re new here, we recommend starting with the [**Getting Started**](https://docs.soroswap.finance/readme/getting-started) section, and then reading [**What is Soroswap Finance?**](https://docs.soroswap.finance/readme/what-is-soroswap-finance) for a full overview of how the platform works.

Soroswap operates as:

* 🌀 **An Automated Market Maker (AMM)** via [**Soroswap AMM**](https://docs.soroswap.finance/01-protocol-overview) for direct token swaps and liquidity provisioning
* 🧠 **An AMM Aggregator** via [**Soroswap Aggregator**](https://docs.soroswap.finance/soroswap-aggregator), optimizing trades across multiple protocols to secure the best execution
* 🛠️ **An API** via Soroswap Swap Route API: [Quickstart](https://docs.soroswap.finance/soroswap-api), [**Reference**](https://api.soroswap.finance/docs) The Soroswap API serves as the core interface to quote trades by aggregating liquidity from all available Stellar DEXs — including those on Soroban (Soroswap, Phoenix, Aqua) and the Stellar Classic DEX.

Together, these components deliver a powerful, decentralized trading experience on the Soroban smart contract platform.\
