A DEX (decentralized exchange) is a peer-to-peer marketplace where users can trade cryptocurrencies in a non-custodial manner without the need for an intermediary to facilitate the transfer and custody of funds.

In this story we will be figuring out which DEX has the most web traffic that converts to transacting users.

Data in this story was sourced from WeMeta’s private beta for their decentralized data warehouse, which holds social, onchain, market, app/ game & other offchain data in a single interface, enabling automated reports, streams, understanding & app/ game development across chains.

DEX Traffic

DEX popularity can be gauged in a ton of ways.

  • Pure onchain activity isn’t enough to truly compare popularity, because it requires a conversion.
  • Pure offchain activity isn’t enough to truly compare popularity, because it doesn’t account for conversions.

Bots and other noise that can be added to social sites like Twitter, Discord, Reddit or others also plague onchain activity through methods like wash trading.
