Why This Page Exists

Too many people see a strange swap, a routed trade, or an AMM bounce and think something’s wrong. This briefing kills that confusion permanently. If you trade RAD or anything on XRPL, this is your foundation.

XRPL AMMs Are Not Like CEX Trading

You’re not trading in one isolated pool. You’re trading across multiple paths the XRPL routes through. That means:

• Different pools can have slightly different prices.
• Swaps can move through several routes in one transaction.
• Chart movement doesn’t always reflect routed trades.

Why Some Swaps Look Like “Losses” But Aren’t

Example: a wallet buys with 418 XRP and the next route returns 335 XRP. People panic. But this isn’t a trader losing money — it’s simply the AMM choosing different liquidity paths. Different pools = different slippage.

It’s internal math, not human error.

Why Some Trades Look Like “Instant Profit”

If you see a 25 XRP buy turn into 108 XRP, that’s not a jackpot. That’s the AMM bouncing through mixed liquidity and filling orders using whatever path gives the best result.

Looks wild. Means nothing.

Why the Chart Doesn’t Always Move

Routed trades can spill across multiple pools, meaning the main chart barely twitches. This is normal for early AMMs with light liquidity.

Why RAD Cannot Be Rugged

• Immutable supply
• No “drain function”
• Wallets separated and public
• No hidden mint logic
• Ledger-verified structure

RAD was built ledger-first, not cash-out-first. Structure beats fear every time.

What You Should Ignore

• Unofficial tools like DEX Screener showing weird charts
• Random bots showing “profit/loss” on routed swaps
• People assuming manipulation because numbers look strange

Final Word

Routed trades aren’t losses.
Routed trades aren’t winnings.
They’re simply how XRPL moves value through its AMM system.

Trust the math. Trust the ledger. RAD is exactly where it should be.
