Please describe your proposed solution

We aim to build a generalized framework that allows users on DexHunter to swap between tokens using more efficient routes that integrate minting and burning functionality. Initially, this will be implemented with OADA pairs but will be expandable to any future tokens. The system will allow users to mint tokens (like OADA) and include them in the same swap transaction to optimize liquidity routing. Additionally, we will develop advanced routing features like double-routing to route trades through the most efficient paths and reduce slippage. By providing a flexible, modular integration system, this framework will increase trade efficiency and liquidity utilization in the Cardano ecosystem.

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Optimized Trading: This framework will enhance liquidity management by enabling minting and burning within swap routes, minimizing slippage and improving trade execution.

Increased Liquidity Utilization: Advanced routing through OADA pairs and other tokens will allow more efficient use of liquidity, encouraging higher trading volumes on Cardano DEXs.

Expanded Ecosystem: The framework will simplify future integrations for new tokens and pools, making it easier to extend advanced functionalities to other projects on the Cardano network.

User Retention: By offering a better trading experience with tools like double-routing and mint/burn capabilities, users are more likely to remain on decentralized platforms, reducing outflow to centralized exchanges.
