Uniswap, the largest decentralized exchange, has surpassed the Ethereum network in fees, according to a Bloomberg report.
The flagship DEX generated over $4 million, racing ahead of the second-largest blockchain.
Arca analyst Katie Talati attributes the recent milestone to rapidly growing volatility, which caused a significant uptick in trading volumes.
At the same time, Ethereum has experienced a sizeable decline in user activity, with layer-2 solutions becoming increasingly popular because of cheap fees.
In December 2021, Uniswap v3 contracts were deployed on Polygon. Prior to that, the decentralized exchange was also launched on Arbitrum.
