The author considers an exact solution to the chordal Loewner differential equation and gives an expression of the corresponding driving function. For the upper half-plane \(\mathbb H=\{z\in\mathbb C:\text{Im}\,z>0\}\) and \(T>0\) let \(\gamma[0,T]\) be a simple curve, \(\gamma(0)\in\mathbb R\), \(\gamma(0,T]\subset\mathbb H\). There is a conformal map \(g_t\) from \(H_t=\mathbb H\setminus\gamma[0,t]\), \(0\leq t\leq T\), onto \(\mathbb H\) such that \[g_t(z)=z+\frac{2t}{z}+O\left(\frac{1}{|z|^2}\right),\;\;\;z\to\infty.\] In this case, \(g_t(z)\) satisfies the chordal Loewner differential equation \[\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g_t(z)=\frac{2}{g_t(z)-\lambda(t)},\;\;\;g_0(z)=z\in\mathbb H,\] where the driving function \(\lambda(t)=\lim_{z\to\gamma(t)}g_t(z)\) is continuous and real-valued. On the other hand, given a continuous driving function \(\lambda\), a solution \(g_t\) to the Loewner equation generates an increasing family of hulls. The author considers a sequence of slits \[\gamma^p:=\left\{(1+e^{i\theta})^p:\pi\left(1-\frac{1}{2p}\right)\leq\theta\leq\pi\right\},\;\;\;p=4n+1,\;\;\;n\in\mathbb N,\] which are the traces generated by some driving functions. The main result of the paper is given in the following theorem. Theorem 1.1. Let \(\gamma^p\) be the trace generated by the chordal Loewner differential equation. Then there is a constant \(C>0\) such that the driving function \(\lambda\) is of the form \[\lambda(t)=Ct^{\frac{p+1}{2p}}+o\left(t^{\frac{p+1}{2p}}\right),\;\;\;t\to0.\]
