Decentralized Exchange Metrics

DEX metrics have been migrated to a new framework, with new data starting from May 5, 2022. Data between February 9, 2017 and May 5, 2022, is sourced from the old framework (Available DEXs for old framework). Although older data remains accessible through the API, we do not recommend its use.

Description

Decentralized exchanges, or DEXs, revolutionize cryptocurrency trading by eliminating the need for a central authority. Operating on blockchain technology, these exchanges empower users with direct peer-to-peer transactions, enhancing security and control over funds. DEXs embody the principles of transparency and trustlessness, offering users a more resilient and inclusive financial ecosystem.

List of decentralized exchanges: Available Decentralized Exchanges. Additionally, there is a label unknown for DEXs that haven't been labeled.

Metrics are divided into four groups:

Trade volume in USD segmented by DEX:

• total_trade_volume_by_dex - Total trading volume in USD
• eth_based_trade_volume_by_dex - Trading volume in USD involving ETH-based tokens¹
• stablecoin_trade_volume_by_dex - Trading volume in USD involving Stablecoins²
• other_trade_volume_by_dex - The trading volume in USD involving tokens not falling into any of the above categories

Number of trades segmented by DEX:

• total_trade_amount_by_dex - Number of all trades
• eth_based_trade_amount_by_dex - Number of trades involving ETH-Based tokens¹
• stablecoin_trade_amount_by_dex - Number of trades involving Stablecoins²
• other_trade_amount_by_dex - Number of trades involving tokens not falling into any of the above categories

Trade volume segmented by DEX and asset:

• eth_trade_volume_by_token - Trading volume in ETH between ERC20 token and ETH-Based tokens¹
• stablecoin_trade_volume_by_token - Trading volume in USD between ERC20 token and Stablecoins²

Token price in ETH segmented by DEX and asset:

• token_eth_price_by_dex_5m - Token price in ETH segmented by DEX for trades between given ERC20 token and ETH-based tokens ¹

ETH Based Tokens

ETH, WETH, ETH Kyber, ETHWrapped and Bancor ETH.

USD-based Stablecoins

Tether, USD coin, DAI, Binance USD, TrueUSD and other stablecoins.

Access

Restricted Access.

Measuring Unit

• total_trade_volume_by_dex, eth_based_trade_volume_by_dex, stablecoin_trade_volume_by_dex, other_trade_volume_by_dex - Amount in USD
• total_trade_amount_by_dex, eth_based_trade_amount_by_dex, stablecoin_trade_amount_by_dex, other_trade_amount_by_dex - Number of trades
• eth_trade_volume_by_token - Amount in ETH
• stablecoin_trade_volume_by_token - Amount in stablecoins
• token_eth_price_by_dex_5m - Amount in ETH

Available Assets

• total_trade_volume_by_dex, eth_based_trade_volume_by_dex, stablecoin_trade_volume_by_dex, other_trade_volume_by_dex: multi-collateral-dai
• total_trade_amount_by_dex, eth_based_trade_amount_by_dex, stablecoin_trade_amount_by_dex, other_trade_amount_by_dex: multi-collateral-dai
• eth_trade_volume_by_token, stablecoin_trade_volume_by_token, token_eth_price_by_dex_5m: ERC20 assets

Note: <>_trade_volume_by_dex and <>_trade_amount_by_dex metrics are not asset-based. They are related to DEX data and multi-collateral-dai is placeholder for the data.
