# Solana DEX execution costs and routing

What a swap was quoted at on Solana, and which venues the aggregator split it across to get
there.

A quote is computed per request against pool state that has already changed by the time anyone
asks again. The fill that follows may land on chain; the quote never does, and neither does the
route the aggregator considered and rejected.

## Contents

| name | one row is |
|---|---|
| `e24_solana_quotes` | one pair at one size at one moment: output, price impact, dollar value, leg count |
| `e24_solana_routes` | one leg of the chosen route: venue, amounts, and the percentage of the order it carried |

## Reading it

Join the two on `(round_ts, input_symbol, output_symbol, in_amount)`. A quote with `n_legs` above
one was split, and `percent` on each leg says how the order was divided.

The size ladder is fixed at 1, 50 and 1,000 SOL so that impact is comparable over time rather
than against a moving notional. Impact rises with size on every pair, which is the sanity check
this table has to pass: one observation ran 0.0000%, 0.0013% and 0.065% on a thin pair against
0.0000%, 0.000018% and 0.000068% on the deepest one.

Routing is the part that is hard to get elsewhere. The same pair goes through one venue at small
size and four or five at large size, and the venue mix changes between rounds, which maps where
routable liquidity actually sits rather than where volume was reported.

## A column that is raw on purpose

`amm_report_raw` is the aggregator's own report on the venues it considered, stored verbatim as
JSON rather than parsed into a comparison.

It is kept raw because it is NOT restricted to the pair being quoted. A request for SOL into a
memecoin returns values on the scale of a stablecoin quote, and at least one entry has been the
string "Pair insufficient liquidity" rather than a number. An earlier version derived a
"chosen route versus best single venue" spread from this field and produced 340 million basis
points, which is what exposed the mismatch. The raw object keeps the information without
publishing a derived number that means nothing.

## Before you build on this

- One aggregator. It is the dominant one on Solana, but a quote is what it would route, not the
  best price obtainable anywhere.
- Quotes are indicative. A real swap adds transaction landing risk, priority fees and slippage
  against a moving pool, none of which a quote reflects.
- `price_impact_pct` is the aggregator's own estimate, not something recomputed here.
- Five pairs, all with SOL as the input. That is a slice of Solana, not a census.
- A failed request is written as an explicit error row with the measurements null, so an
  unavailable aggregator is distinguishable from a pair with no route.

Partitions are parquet, one file per collection window, under `dataset/YYYY/MM/`. Every dataset here carries a FIXED 7-day sample WINDOW starting at its own first day of collection, together spanning 2026-08-30 to 2026-09-05, so you can check schema, coverage and quality before asking for more. It does not advance, so there is nothing to gain by re-downloading it. The full history is held privately, available on request.

```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
import pandas as pd, glob

path = snapshot_download("dataforge-labs/solana-dex-execution", repo_type="dataset",
                         allow_patterns="e24_solana_quotes/**")
df = pd.concat(map(pd.read_parquet,
                   glob.glob(f"{path}/e24_solana_quotes/**/*.parquet", recursive=True)))
```

## Coverage

`e0_run_manifest` lists every collection window with its poll counts and failure counts, and is
published in full rather than windowed. Gaps between windows are real, cannot be filled in
afterwards, and nothing here is interpolated.
