KyberSwap integrates PropAMMs via Titan for improved execution on Ethereum

KyberSwap, one of the larger DEX aggregators in DeFi, has integrated PropAMM liquidity through Titan Builder on Ethereum Mainnet. The move gives traders access to dynamically priced onchain pools run by professional market makers, a category of liquidity source designed to deliver fresher pricing than traditional AMMs can manage on slower networks.

PropAMMs, short for Propagated Automated Market Makers, continuously broadcast updated pricing information offchain to the Titan Builder, which uses Application-Controlled Execution (ACE) to sequence these updates with priority before anything hits the chain. Instead of a swap executing against a price that was set three blocks ago, it executes against a price that was set moments ago.

KyberSwap layers its own Smart Settlement feature on top of this infrastructure. Launched around May 17, 2026, Smart Settlement ensures that the final onchain execution selects the best available output at the moment the trade actually processes, minimizing slippage and reducing exposure to price manipulation. PropAMMs provide the freshest possible quotes, and Smart Settlement acts as a final checkpoint to confirm those quotes still represent the best deal when the transaction confirms.

The numbers behind KyberSwap’s reach

KyberSwap supports over 420 liquidity sources across 17 chains, with an all-time trading volume exceeding $150 billion. Data from mid-May indicates that approximately 15% of quotes already included PropAMM legs. KyberSwap claims that four out of five DeFi users can now access pAMM liquidity through its routes.

Starting June 1, 2026, Titan will introduce boosts for orders routed through PropAMM contracts. PropAMMs have already been validated on Solana, where they reportedly manage the majority of major-pair volume. Ethereum presents a different challenge, with higher gas costs and slower slot times, which is why the offchain quoting mechanism and builder-level sequencing were designed to compensate for those specific limitations.

What this means for investors and the competitive landscape

PropAMM integration gives KyberSwap a structural advantage on Ethereum for as long as competing aggregators haven’t adopted similar technology. Professional market makers providing real-time quotes through dedicated onchain pools is a fundamentally different liquidity model than passive LPs sitting in Uniswap v3 ranges.

The risk side deserves attention too. PropAMMs introduce a dependency on offchain infrastructure and professional market makers. If Titan Builder experiences downtime or if market makers pull liquidity during volatile conditions, the advantages could evaporate precisely when traders need them most. KyberSwap’s Smart Settlement is designed to mitigate this by falling back to the best available onchain output at the time of trade execution.

The 15% quote inclusion rate from mid-May is still early innings. The passive LP model that defined DeFi’s early years is gradually being supplemented by professional market-making infrastructure that operates closer to how traditional finance works, and the June boosts for PropAMM-routed orders represent a concrete incentive designed to accelerate that shift.
