# Introduction

## How does it work?

Clipper has a hybrid onchain/offchain infrastructure. We expose an API to you with price feeds and a k-parameter, and give you the formula that we use to quote prices based on those + onchain data. That way you can route based on predictions of what clipper will quote, and then once you’re ready to actually use Clipper in a route you request a quote from our servers. Output scales with input so you can compose in multihop trades.

**Clipper prioritizes protecting LP yield and restricts toxic bot flow.** We value real users. To ensure we’re prevention of toxic flow we have verification methods in place. Specifically we make a verification on the wallets used for the swaps and we check whether they are EOA (not contracts), have a min amount of ETH, and have done previous txs.

1. Client retrieves pool information
2. Client inputs pool information (price feeds, k factor, etc) in the formula to predict quotes.
3. Client retrieves a firm quote from API
4. Client creates a swap transaction in the clipper pool contract using values from previous step.
