Routes and steps
With default router settings your swap splits into up to 4 different routes and 2 steps in each route.
If you wish to make a direct swap, involving only one pool, choose maximum 1 route and 1 step in it.
The more routes and steps you allow, the more efficient your swaps will be. But it increases slippage probability on any of the steps, and you may get some intermediate tokens instead of expected ones.
Currently each of the four separate routes executes multi-step trade within pools of the same protocol. Technically, CPMM v2 and Classic pools (or Stable-swap) are also two "different" protocols, which can't be involved together within one single route.
If you need to swap, for example, TON β> BOOM, while:
BOOM token's liquidity is paired with USDT only, specifically in CPMM v2 pool, and
there's poor liquidity in TON/USDT pools of CPMM v2 type (unlike in Classic TON/USDT pool), but
there are liquid CPMM v2 pools DUST/TON and DUST/USDT, that can be involved for efficient swap,
consider allowing 3-step route: TON β> DUST β> USDT β> BOOM, insted of 2 steps allowed by default.
