# Compass 

When a user visits a new dApp, their first thought is : **“Which token do I need, and on which chain, to use this dApp?”**

This forces them into a complex journey of researching, swapping, and transferring assets across platforms **often resulting in drop-offs and lost revenue for the dApp**.

If, by some miracle, a dev decides to tackle this friction and improve the user experience (a rarity among Web3 devs), they face the daunting task of:

* Integrating a colossal number of chains, wallets, providers, and liquidity sources.
* Deciphering wildly different mechanisms and tech across platforms because, well, Web3.
* Undertaking a journey so complex it can take years and demand significant resources.

#### *There has to be a better way! (* :shark: *Shark Tank Style)*

### But thats not all, Wait for it,

### Compass goes beyond aggregation with 'Pathfinder'

PathFinder is our proprietary execution engine designed to handle complex, end-to-end transactions, transforming multi-step processes into seamless one-click magic. It executes all steps with maximum efficiency in just seconds.

* **Figures Out Unique Paths**: Combines multiple providers for optimal execution, even when no single provider can handle the entire transaction journey.
* **Automates Execution**: Handles every step- approval, swap, bridge, requiring only one user transaction.
* **Manages Gas Fees**: Automatically calculates and manages gas tokens across chains for complex transactions.

*"Pathfinder is currently in beta and being rolled out to our early integrators in phases, bringing us closer to realizing our vision of Any Token, Any Chain."*
