Curve Beat Uniswap in TVL With an Additional $12 Billion

When it comes to DEXs, TVL or total value locked can be a significant way to measure investors' belief in the project. With that, Curve beat one of the most popular Ethereum DEXs, Uniswap.

Uniswap Remains One of the Most Popular ETH DEXs

Uniswap remains well known for being one of the most popular Ethereum DEXs used to swap tokens. Curve, although it does the same, focuses more on being an exchange liquidity pool providing a way for crypto hodlers to earn passive crypto whenever a swap for a staked pair is made.

As tweeted out by Ben GCrypto, the top 10 crypto projects all have TVLs past the one billion mark ranging from Curve to Synapse. In addition, despite the top three all being on the Ethereum blockchain, there are also other blockchains on the list.

Among the other blockchain DEXs on the list are PancakeSwap, built on the BSC blockchain, Trader Joe, built on Avalanche, VVS Finance, built on Cronos, Osmosis, built on Osmosis, and last but not the least, SpookySwap, built on Fantom.
