Take the direct route
When one pool beats the routed quote, switch to it in one press.
Routing does not win on every pair and every size. Where a single pool already trades your pair deeply, going straight through it can be the better trade. Zerochord says so and gives you the direct quote.
How you know
Look at the Against the direct route section of the quote panel.
When the direct pool is better, the panel reads:
The direct route on that venue is better for this pair and size. Routing does not beat it, so it is the trade to make.
Underneath it shows what that pool would deliver, and a button.
Switch to it
Press Quote the direct route on that venue.
Zerochord re-runs the same quote, restricted to that one pool. Everything you get back is a real quote: its own rate, its own minimum output enforced on chain, its own fees and its own price impact. Nothing is copied from the routed quote.
Sign it the same way you would sign any other quote.
Go back
Press Back to the routed quote in the Pair and amount panel. The button appears only while a direct quote is on screen.
When there is no direct route
Some pairs have no single pool holding both assets. The panel then says no direct route exists for this pair and claims no saving.
That is not a failure. The routed quote is still a real quote and still carries a minimum output. It simply has nothing to be compared against, and Zerochord will not invent a comparison.
