+# Intelligent Route Optimizer for Stellar AgentKit
+
+## Problem Solved
+Stellar AgentKit users were limited to direct swaps without access to optimal pricing across multiple DEXes, resulting in suboptimal execution rates and unnecessary slippage.
+
+## Solution Implemented
+Added an intelligent route optimizer that queries multiple liquidity pools, compares rates, and selects optimal execution paths across Stellar's DEX ecosystem.
+
+## Key Features
+- **Multi-DEX Routing** - Queries Horizon and Soroban AMM pools for best rates
+- **Strategy-Based Optimization** - 4 strategies: best-route, direct, minimal-hops, split
+- **Multi-Hop Discovery** - Finds optimal paths through intermediate assets
+- **Real-time Data** - 30-second cached pool data with automatic refresh
+- **Price Impact Analysis** - Estimates slippage and market impact
+
+## Usage
+```typescript
+await agent.swapOptimized({
+  strategy: "best-route",
+  sendAsset: { type: "native" },
+  destAsset: { code: "USDC", issuer: "GB..." },
+  sendAmount: "100"
+});
+```
+

+# Feature: Introduce Route Optimizer for Swaps and LP
+
+This PR implements an intelligent route optimizer for Stellar AgentKit that provides multi-DEX routing with best price discovery, addressing the core problem of inefficient trades due to lack of routing optimization.
