🌐 Network Insights

Following a similar macro trend across DEX volumes, 0x Protocol volume reached $14.2B in January and $8.6B in February across a total of 7 chains, bringing all-time volume to $147B+. Comparing across chains, Ethereum volume increased during the market fluctuations in January, while volume on Fantom received a boost with the launch of several incentive campaigns.

The number of trades on 0x Protocol averaged ~1.75m per month over the past two months. Polygon used to make up 75% of all trades across chains, but trading activity has slowed significantly since Zapper’s quest campaign came to an end in December. Meanwhile, trading activity on Fantom has seen an uptick since November, while the number of trades on Ethereum has remained steady. Comparing trade size across chains, Ethereum trade size hovered around ~$20k in January, followed by Avalanche at ~$6k per trade.

Across integrators, Matcha led with a total of $7.9B in volume over the past two months. While Matcha is available on all 0x API-supported chains, 89% of its volume came from Ethereum. In other exciting news, for the first time, Cowswap overtook MetaMask for the 2nd podium spot with >$2B in volume over the last two months, which is up more than 46% since the last update. We're encouraged to see many 0x integrators enable trading on newly supported 0x API chains within their apps.
