DEX Chain Market Share — Which Blockchain Leads DEX Volume

What does DEX Chain Market Share do?

DEX Chain Market Share aggregates real-time decentralized exchange trading volume across 1,200+ DEXes and 200+ blockchains, then ranks each chain by market share percentage. It pulls live data from DefiLlama's public API — no API key required — and delivers 24h, 7d, and 30d volume figures alongside momentum signals, dominance tiers, and per-chain DEX concentration metrics so you can see exactly which blockchain networks are winning the DEX wars.

Why use DEX Chain Market Share?

• Instant chain rankings: See which networks — Solana, Base, Ethereum, BSC, and 200+ others — hold the largest slice of global DEX volume market share without manually pulling data from dozens of dashboards.
• Trend detection built in: Every record includes a trend_label (accelerating / decelerating / stable) and volume_momentum_score so you can spot emerging L2 ecosystems and chain rotation before the crowd.
• Top DEX breakdown per chain: Each chain entry lists its top N DEXes by volume, revealing DEX concentration risk and whether one protocol (Uniswap, Aerodrome, Jupiter, etc.) dominates or volume is spread across many venues.
• Institutional-grade signals: Fields like institutional_readiness, competitive_moat_signal, and cross_chain_bridge_reliance let researchers and fund analysts evaluate chain ecosystem health beyond raw numbers.
• Flat $0.007 pricing: One run covers the entire 1,200+ DEX universe. No per-record charges, no pagination overhead — ideal for daily automated monitoring via Apify Schedules.

How to use DEX Chain Market Share

1. Go to the Apify Store and open the DEX Chain Market Share actor page.
2. Click Try for free to open the actor in the Apify Console.
3. Configure the input: set topNChains (default 30), topNDexesPerChain (default 5), and whether to excludeOffChain venues.
4. Click Save & Run. The actor completes in under 60 seconds.
5. Open the Dataset tab to browse results, or export to JSON / CSV / Excel.
6. Optionally set a Schedule (e.g., daily at 00:05 UTC) to receive fresh market share snapshots automatically.

Cost estimation

Scenario	Chains returned	Cost
Small (daily snapshot)	Up to 200+ chains	$0.007
Medium (scheduled daily)	Up to 200+ chains × 30 runs/month	~$0.21/month
Large (hourly monitoring)	Up to 200+ chains × 720 runs/month	~$5.04/month

Pricing is flat per run — all 1,200+ DEXes and 200+ chains are included regardless of topNChains setting.

FAQ

Does this actor require an API key? No. Data is sourced from DefiLlama's public API (api.llama.fi/overview/dexs), which is free and requires no authentication.

How often is the data updated? DefiLlama updates DEX volume data approximately every hour. For freshest results, schedule runs every 1–6 hours.

Can I filter to specific chains or DEXes? Currently the actor returns all chains ranked by volume. Use topNChains to limit the output size, or filter by chain name in a downstream step using Apify's dataset filtering or a webhook integration.

Disclaimer: DEX volume data is sourced from DefiLlama and reflects on-chain reported figures. Wash trading, zero-fee incentive pools, or protocol-specific counting methodologies may affect accuracy. This data is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
