Quote System

The IU2U Protocol's quote system provides real-time, accurate pricing information across all supported DEXes and chains. It aggregates quotes from multiple sources, accounts for gas costs, and provides execution guarantees.

Overview

The quote system serves as the pricing engine for the IU2U Protocol, offering:

1. Multi-source aggregation from 35+ DEXes across 8+ chains

2. Real-time price discovery with sub-second latency

3. Gas-adjusted quotes including transaction costs

4. Execution guarantees with slippage protection

5. Quote comparison across different routes and DEXes

Integration Examples

React Hook for Quotes

import { useState, useEffect, useCallback } from 'react';
import { IU2UQuoteSystem } from '@iu2u/sdk';

export function useIU2UQuote(request, options = {}) {
    const [quote, setQuote] = useState(null);
    const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
    const [error, setError] = useState(null);
    const [alternatives, setAlternatives] = useState([]);

    const quoteSystem = new IU2UQuoteSystem(options.config);

    const fetchQuote = useCallback(async () => {
        if (!request.fromToken || !request.toToken || !request.amountIn) {
            return;
        }

        setLoading(true);
        setError(null);

        try {

    }, [request, quoteSystem]);

    useEffect(() => {
        fetchQuote();

        const interval = setInterval(fetchQuote, 30000);

Node.js Integration

const { IU2UQuoteSystem } = require('@iu2u/sdk');

        this.quoteSystem = new IU2UQuoteSystem(config);

    }

        const opportunities = [];

        for (const pair of tokenPairs) {
            try {
                const quotes = await this.quoteSystem.getQuote({
                    fromToken: pair.tokenA,
                    toToken: pair.tokenB,
                    amountIn: pair.testAmount,
                    fromChain: pair.chainId,
                    toChain: pair.chainId,

                    includeGasCosts: true
                });

                const profit = reverseQuotes.bestQuote.outputAmount - pair.testAmount;
                const profitPercentage = profit / pair.testAmount;

                if (profitPercentage > this.minProfitThreshold) {
                    opportunities.push({
                        pair,
                        profit,

Performance Metrics

The quote system maintains detailed performance metrics:

• Response Time: Average < 500ms for simple quotes, < 2s for complex multi-chain routes

• Accuracy: 99%+ quote accuracy within 1% of execution price

• Coverage: 35+ DEXes across 8+ chains with 95%+ uptime

• Cache Hit Rate: 85%+ for frequently requested pairs

• Gas Estimation: Within 5% of actual gas usage

Best Practices

1. Cache Effectively: Use appropriate cache timeouts for different quote types

2. Handle Failures Gracefully: Always provide fallback quotes when primary sources fail

3. Validate Before Execution: Always re-validate quotes immediately before execution

4. Monitor Performance: Track quote accuracy and execution success rates

5. Update Regularly: Keep DEX integrations and gas estimates current
