Quick recap of what in tarnation happened this 2022.

On todays report:

• What is the highest value DEX swap, by protocol?
• Where was there the most DEX swaps by protocol?
• Which were the highest gas consuming NFT mints?

If the year would end today…

1. All Platforms, except Uniswap V2, would end the year with less swaps than they did at the beginning of the year.

• For example, Sushiswap started with more than 400K monthly swaps, now it has 118k. (Keep in mind that 2022 still has 10 more days.

2. Uniswap V2, not only would end its year with more swaps than it did at the beginning of this year, It has considerable more swaps than its competitors.

• Also having more than 50% of the shares in swaps across the biggest DEXs in Ethereum.

But, in users

Far more users have swapped through balancer than any other platform.

Not even the uniswaps.

Indicating that the volume of assets, and swapping transactions doesnt correlates with more users, as one would expect. Power users thus far drive majority of the swapping transactions.

Speaking of the biggest swaps made (transactions down below)

• The first to stand out is the one made in Uniswapv3 by the Illuvium dev team when they were made aware of the possibility of a breaching by a hacker. This swap involved the draining of these pools to protect em.

• The second one involved, the biggest swap in a curve pool on which hackers used a flash loan method to extract 570 millions worth of bitcoin.

• The third, on Balancer, would correspond to a legitimate swap, being the biggest and honest swap on this list.

• Because the Fourth, the biggest swap on Uniswap v2, was also a hack, in this case the one made to Beanstalk and its stablecoin BEAN. on which more than 30M USD were stoled.

• And the biggest in sythetix, with 17 millions would also be a legitimate transaction, the same as SUshiswap with its 11million biggest swap.

Top Gas guzzler Mints

For the Top Gas Consuming Collections

Tubby Cats without a doubt. With news like the one pinned, people expending thousands in fees to be able to mint, accruing more than 263k Ethereum in gas fees. And they are still 5k left to mint.

Far below is the collection of Otherdeed which guzzled 127k in Ethereum Fees. Explained also by its high mint volume of 45k items in its collection.

There are 2 contracts for BLVCK Paris, both expending tons of Ethereum Gas to mint.

Besides Tubby Cats and Sandbox lands, the top selling collections inside Ethereum, are not in the list of those who expent the highest amount per NFT minted.
