   How to Find the Best Price for Shield Protocol

   There are many decentralized exchanges on Binance Smart Chain where you can buy Shield Protocol. You could simply pick one of them and use it and hope that it's the best price.

   But the best option is to use a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator to find the best price possible without having to compare each one manually. A DEX aggregator like 1inch.io uses the power of open defi programs to compare prices across all marketplaces. 1inch saves you time and money by automatically choosing the best price and then placing that trade for you.
