DEX
Our decentralized exchange (DEX) vertical can be divided into three main categories: DEX Trades and Liquidity Pools events (mints and burns) and liquidity pool creation events.
DEX Tables | Description & Use |
|---|---|
Trades | Token swaps on major DEXes. Calculating swap volumes |
Liquidity Pools | Pool creation events and parameters. |
Liquidity Pool Events | Liquidity pool events such as mints, burns. Used for TVL calculation and active liquidity (Uniswap V3) |
This is the most common action that users take when interacting with DEXs is swapping some amount of a token in DEX for another token.
Projects | Protocol |
|---|---|
kyberswap, uniswap | uniswap_v3 |
sushiswap, quickswap, polycat, mmfinance, jetswap, gravityfinance, fraxswap, elkfinance, dfyn-network, apeswap-amm | uniswap_v2 |
balancer | balancer_v2 |
curve | curve_v1, curve_v2 |
What is the difference between DEX project and DEX protocol?
- DEX Project: Project refers to the platform of the DEX, such as Uniswap, Balancer, Sushiswap, etc.
- DEX Protocol: The DEX protocol refers to the underlying smart contract implemented for facilitating the swaps.
- A project can undergo protocol upgrades. E.g. When Uniswap upgraded their v2 protocol to v3 to introduce concentrated liquidity pools.
- New DEX projects can also choose to fork existing protocols, such as the Uniswap v2 protocol. One example of this was Sushiswap as a Uniswap v2 fork.
Hence, a single project can have multiple protocols. Likewise, a single protocol can be utilized across multiple projects.
The pool events table contains the mint and burn events of liquidity across indexed DEX protocols. It provides transaction-level details on the project, protocol, and LP pools minted and burned by the users enriched with price data to estimate the volume of LP added or removed.
Projects | Protocol |
|---|---|
kyberswap, uniswap | uniswap_v3 |
sushiswap, quickswap, polycat, mmfinance, jetswap, gravityfinance, fraxswap, elkfinance, dfyn-network, apeswap-amm | uniswap_v2 |
The liquidity pool table includes all liquidity pool creation events of the indexed DEX protocols. It provides transaction-level details, such as the transaction hash and block time, the corresponding tokens in the pool, and the project associated with the liquidity pool address.
Projects | Protocol |
|---|---|
kyberswap, uniswap | uniswap_v3 |
sushiswap, quickswap, polycat, mmfinance, jetswap, gravityfinance, fraxswap, elkfinance, dfyn-network, apeswap-amm | uniswap_v2 |
