# Trade by Sats Terminal

## Overview

Trading Bitcoin L1 assets (like Runes) has always been fragmented: dozens of DEXs, inconsistent liquidity, volatile pricing, slow UX, and large execution slippage.

\
Sats Terminal solves this by unifying all liquidity sources under a single, fast, non-custodial interface.

With advanced routing algorithms and real-time market intelligence, the Trade module ensures your swaps always follow the most optimal path - whether that means routing through multiple pools, crossing order books, splitting orders, or using hybrid liquidity sources.

## Runes Swap

**Sats Terminal Runes Swap** is the first **Bitcoin-native aggregation protocol** designed to get you the **best execution on every Runes swap**.

\
Instead of routing trades through a single DEX, Sats Terminal aggregates liquidity across multiple Bitcoin decentralized exchanges, marketplaces, and DeFi platforms — ensuring optimal pricing, minimal slippage, and reliable settlement.

#### **Key Features**

* Best-execution routing across multiple Bitcoin DEXes
* Aggregated liquidity for deeper markets
* Lower slippage, better pricing, higher reliability
* One integration for all supported Runes swap sources
* Built for developers, wallets, and applications

#### **Integrations**

## Runes SDK

The **Swap v2 SDK** is the fastest way to integrate Bitcoin-native swaps into any product.

\
Written in JavaScript/TypeScript, it works in both **front-end** and **back-end** environments and handles all communication with Sats Terminal’s smart routing engine.

Use it to build:

* Your own custom swap experience
* Automated trading scripts
* Wallet integrations
* Backend swap services

#### **Key Features**

* Smart routing logic handled automatically
* Built-in error handling and transaction management
* Fully compatible with all Bitcoin-native wallets
