- Uniswap was the numero uno DEX with a 24-hour volume of $984.47 million.
- It was the largest contributor to ETH’s burning activity in April.
World’s largest decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap [UNI] was considering a proposal to launch the third iteration of its protocol on the layer-1, proof-of-stake network, Fantom [FTM], in a bid to adapt and expand its reach to other blockchain ecosystems.
