The Route Response object contains the following fields:

A route request JSON object contains the following fields:

* token\_out: Hex-string formatted swap output token address
* token\_in: Hex-string formatted swap input token address
* amount\_in: Hex-string formatted swap amount in
* amount\_out: Hex-string formatted swap amount out (quote)
* swap\_paths: Bytecode package for on-chain token swap call
* swap\_viz\_data: Data for graphical representation of the swap paths
* price impact: Estimated price impact for the swap.\*

### Confirming the quote on-chain

The quoted price can be confirmed via an on-chain call to the BrainDex Router contract by passing the route route request response `swap_paths` to `getMultiSwapAmountOut() on the BrainDex Router contract.`

#### Quote Confirmation function definition

```solidity
interface IBrainDexRouter {
    function getMultiSwapAmountOut(bytes calldata data) external view returns(uint256);
}
```

#### Sample quote confirmation call using wagmi.sh

```typescript
const swapAmountOutRead = useContractRead({
    addressOrName: routerContractAddress,
    contractInterface: BrainDexRouterAbi,
    functionName: "getMultiSwapAmountOut",
    args: [
        swap_paths
    ],
    cacheOnBlock: true,
    watch: true,
});
```

## Route Response Parameters In-Depth

### Contract call parameters

The following parameters are necessary inputs for the onchain call to perform the swap.

#### token\_in

Hex-string formatted ethereum-style address. Should echo the token\_in from the route request object.

#### token\_out

Hex-string formatted ethereum-style address. Should echo the token\_out from the route request object.

#### amount\_in

Hex-string formatted integer value. Should echo the amount\_in from the route request object.

#### amount\_out

Hex-string formatted integer value, the swap output quote.

#### swap\_paths

Hex-string formatted bytes package representing the routing data for the above parameters. Can be passed to the view function getMultiSwapAmountOut on the BrainDex Router to confirm quote result on chain.

### Route visualization parameters

The following parameter is for route visualization via frontend interface.

#### price\_impact

A decimal-formatted percentage value indicating the estimated price impact of the swap. Price impact is calculated as the weighted average of the sum of the price impacts for each hop in a route.

#### swap\_viz\_data

Array of path objects. Each element of the array represents one, the net of which represents the total route.

#### route\_tokens

Array of token addresses, each representing one hop in the swap path. The first element should always be token\_in, and the last element should always be token\_out of above route response object. Intermediary addresses represent tokens used as intermediaries in a cross-trade route.

#### route\_protocols

Array of protocol IDs, each representing the protocol through which the above swap was processed. This array should always be one element shorter than route\_tokens, as the protocols represent the pool through which the tokens were swapped.

#### route\_percent

Number value representing what percentage of the total swap volume was used for the given route. A value of 95 signifies that 95% of the total swap amount\_in was routed through this route, whereas a value of 5 signifies that 5% of the total swap volume was routed through this route. For a given route response, all route\_percents should sum to 100.

### Price Impact Note

Due to the nature of cross-route swaps, sometimes price impact may be higher than 100%. This may change in the future.
