An order flow auction is a mechanism where the right to execute user trade orders is sold to market makers or other liquidity providers. In the context of digital assets, this can occur on decentralized exchanges or through specialized protocols. The process aims to provide better execution prices for users by creating competition among those fulfilling trades.
