Exploring the ARB Token: Liquidity, Swaps, and User Dynamics on Osmosis DEX
Intro
In this dashboard, we intend to analyze ARB in the Osmosis network.
First, we want to have a review about the swap of ARB to other tokens and vice versa.
Next, we will analyze the liquidity in the pool related to ARB, i.e. 1011.
After that, we will check the transfers of this token, and finally, we will deal with its new and active users.
For this, we use FlipsideCrypto data.
To find the swap volume, we use the Osmosis.Core.Fact_Swaps table
and get the volume using the ARB contract
. ARB contract:
ibc/10E5E5B06D78FFBB61FD9F89209DEE5FD4446ED0550CBB8E3747DA79E10D9DC6
To find the liquidity volume, we use the Osmosis.Core.Fact_Liquidity_Action
class and divide it by using the pool related to ARB, namely Pool ID 1011
, which is the only pool related to ARB in Osmosis.
For the volume related to Transfer, we use the Osmosis.Core.Fact_Transfers table
and divide it according to the ARB contract.
To find the OSMO price, we use the Osmosis.Core.Fact_Prices table
, and to find the ARB price, we use the Ethereum.Core.Fact_Hourly_Prices table
, because the data of Ethereum tables is more complete than the data of other networks regarding ARB.

Overview
Osmosis is Layer-1, Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain built using the Cosmos SDK that has optimized its design to be a sandbox for automated market makers (AMMs). The chain enables developers to design and deploy customized AMMs by using its various modules and leveraging Osmosis' on-chain governance system. Osmosis' native token, OSMO, grants holders the right to vote on proposed network changes and earn rewards for helping secure the network. Its first application, also called Osmosis, is an AMM that features ATOM and OSMO as its initial base trading pairs.
History
The introduction of automated market makers (AMMs) ushered in a new era of crypto-economic utility and bonding curve applications. AMMs have become an essential element of DeFi infrastructure, and every new ecosystem must have an exchange with liquidity pools to support basic tokens swaps and the creation of supplementary financial products.
Osmosis is an AMM protocol created using the Cosmos SDK. The project was announced in October 2020 and launched on Jun. 19th, 2021. Its core developers include Sunny Aggarwal, Josh Lee, and Dev Ojha. Osmosis' vision is that rather than aiming for a one-size-fits-all strategy for AMMs and their liquidity pools, it could provide a sandbox for AMM development. The protocol enables developers to iterate on new, customized AMM designs by using the existing liquidity pools and modules already running on the network. It also features an on-chain governance system that allows each AMM pool's stakeholders (i.e. liquidity providers) to control and direct their pools.
Osmosis was the first Cosmos-based chain to popularize IBC transfers. IBC transfers had been available for several months before but there was little actual demand from the connected chains; therefore, the volume of IBC transfers was extremely low. Being the first AMM on Cosmos, Osmosis offered the ability to trade and earn rewards through liquidity provision. The volume of IBC transfers can be found here.
