<p data-start="765" data-end="1274"><strong data-start="765" data-end="777">ParaSwap is a <strong data-start="783" data-end="807">liquidity aggregator that pulls in liquidity from various decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and Automated Market Makers (AMMs) to offer the best available prices for token swaps.

<p data-start="1725" data-end="1884">To understand how to get better rates with ParaSwap, let&rsquo;s first discuss <strong data-start="1798" data-end="1841">why ParaSwap provides better swap rates compared to traditional single-chain DEXs:
