Problem 1: Solana transaction byte size limit

Have you tried to swap tokens before and it pop’s up an error that price must be in increment of 1. i.e 1,2,3 or 0.1, 0.2, 0.3.

Bonfida solves this problem of price must be in increment of 1 perfectly, you can swap coins with decimals such as 0.15 , 0.22 e.t.c

Problem 2: Low number of coins & tokens

Another problem most DEXes on Solana have is the small number of tokens usually listed, reason for this is because a market have not been created for that particular token. In simpler terms, there’s no liquidity for the token to be traded.

Bonfida dex Aggregator here, being an Aggregator, has an ernomous amount of tokens listed and you’ll more often than not find the token you’re looking for.

problem 3: complex and slow user interface

Some DEXes have complicated user interface, and not only are they complicated they’re also slow, you have to wait for some seconds for what you click to take action.

This can be very frustrating for users, with the nature of cryptocurrency time is very important, you may not get the same rate if the asset drops in value.

Problem 4: low price, due to slippage

Bonfida aggregates liquidity from several platforms, with this the liquidity will always remain high, high volume of liquidity means higher rates. likelihood for a transaction to fail is also reduced.
