Spot DEX

Trading volume, fees, TVL and active traders for decentralised spot exchanges

Spot DEX metrics are built from on-chain swap events. Volume, fees and TVL are filtered with a blacklist that removes non-standard tokens and pools too illiquid to price reliably.

Metrics

Metric	Label	Unit	Aggregation
SPOT_VOLUME	Spot Volume	Currency	SUM
SPOT_FEES	Spot Fees	Currency	SUM
SPOT_DAU	Spot DEX Daily Active Users	Nominal	AVERAGE
SPOT_TXNS	Spot DEX Transactions	Nominal	SUM
TVL	Total Value Locked	Currency	LAST
CAPITAL_EFFICIENCY	Capital Efficiency	Nominal	AVERAGE
FEES	Fees	Currency	SUM
REVENUE	Revenue	Currency	SUM

SPOT_FEES is the spot leg only; FEES is the protocol-wide total, which differs on venues that also run perps or lending.

Covered protocols

uni · crv · cake · aero · ray · orca · met · joe · bal · pendle · quick · fxs · black · wet · fluid · pump

Some venues trade both spot and perpetuals. drift, edgex, lit and ostium are perps-first, so their activity is reported under Perps rather than in SPOT_VOLUME.

Example: Volume, fees and TVL

curl -s "https://data-svc.artemisxyz.com/v2/data/SPOT_VOLUME,SPOT_FEES,TVL?symbols=uni,cake,aero,crv,ray,orca&startDate=2026-07-25&endDate=2026-08-01&summarize=true&APIKey=$ARTEMIS_API_KEY"

Venue	Volume	Fees	TVL
Uniswap	$688.4M	$488.9K	$4.66B
PancakeSwap	$449.5M	$310.0K	$979.2M
Aerodrome Finance	$70.9M	$37.3K	$238.2M
Curve	$43.4M	$49.4K	$1.25B
Orca	$29.9M	$15.5K	$153.6M
Raydium	$20.9M	$33.9K	$410.2M

Because this request uses summarize=true, every figure above is the 2026-08-01 value, not an eight-day total. summarize returns the endDate day regardless of whether a metric is SUM, LAST or AVERAGE. See Core concepts.

Split TVL by chain

curl -s "https://data-svc.artemisxyz.com/v2/data/TVL?symbols=uni&startDate=2026-08-01&endDate=2026-08-01&dimensionType=CHAIN&APIKey=$ARTEMIS_API_KEY"

Returns one series per deployment chain, named <chain>-uni.
