  • MDEX is a decentralized exchange based on the AMM mechanism and is built on Heco.It supports the Ethereum public chain at the same time;

A comparison of DEX on different chains

Among the four DEXs compared by TokenInsight, the performance of non-Ethereum DEX has caught up with Uniswap’s. Below are a brief summary and comparison of DEX’s market data.

A comparison of Uniswap, MDex, PancakeSwap and Sushiswap up till 25th Feb 2021 (source: Uniswap, MDex, PancakeSwap, Sushiswap, TokenInsight)

  • The comparison of several DEX exchanges suggests that MDEX’s transaction volume ranks first in the market. The total lock-up volume is 1/2 of Uniswap’s and 2/3 of SushiSwap’s, and has surpassed PancakeSwap’s by 0.25 times;
  • However, the circulation market value of MDX is only 7.3% of UNI’s, 26.37% of SUSHI’s, and 34.43% of CAKE’s. It means that the value of MDX is still underestimated;
  • In terms of the number of trading pairs, MDEX currently has 1,510 token pairs. Compared with the more comprehensive Uniswap (more than 30,000 currency pairs), there is still potential to be unleashed. When the Heco ecosystem is getting better, the potential demand for MDEX will be much higher than this.

Summary

The attraction of the bull market and the high yield in the DeFi market has led to the hyperactivity of DEX since 2021. However, the increasingly high gas fee in Ethereum has created a so-called “spillover effect” in the market, which has enabled the development of non-Ethereum DEX such as MDEX and Pancakeswap. Due to the user incentive mechanism of transaction mining and repurchase rewards, MDEX currently has relatively low transaction costs and users even gain benefits from transactions. These distinctive advantages explain MDEX’s fast growth: MDEX’s 24-hour transaction volume exceeded Uniswap’s. In the long run, when the ecology is gradually stable, low transaction fees, low slippage, various trading pairs, and high-quality trading experience are the core competitiveness of MDEX.
