Morpho Tops Weekly Volume With Lower User Base

• Morpho leads Ethereum DApps with $39.57B volume despite low wallet activity.  
• Uniswap V4 tops user count with 53,350 wallets but ranks sixth by volume.  
• Sky holds highest balance at $3.55B but records low weekly transaction volume.

According to data released by DappRadar on April 22, Morpho has recorded the highest weekly transaction volume among Ethereum decentralized applications (DApps). Over the seven days, the lending protocol handled $39.57 billion, edging out Uniswap V3, which posted $36.72 billion.

With just 1,770 unique active wallets (UAW) and a total balance of $1.05 billion, Morpho’s output reflects a high activity concentration among a limited number of participants. In contrast, Uniswap V3 reported 33,000 UAW and held a larger balance of $1.51 billion. This gap in wallet activity and liquidity emphasizes the efficiency of Morpho’s usage and suggests heightened borrowing or lending activity within the platform.

Sky Leads in Liquidity But Trails in Volume

Sky, a lesser-known project within the Ethereum DApp ecosystem, claimed the highest total balance among all ranked platforms at $3.55 billion. However, it placed third in weekly transaction volume, processing $2.97 billion. Sky’s active wallet count was also among the lowest, with just 486 wallets interacting with the protocol over the week. The disparity between its liquidity and usage volume indicates underutilized capital or low-frequency high-value transactions.

Balancer followed closely with $2.88 billion in volume, while CoW Swap posted $2.44 billion. Both protocols maintained moderate balances and active wallet figures, signaling steady but less intensive use than top-ranking DApps.

Uniswap V4 Sees Highest Wallet Activity

Uniswap V4, a recent iteration of the Uniswap protocol, demonstrated strong user engagement. It recorded the highest active wallets across all listed DApps, reaching 53,350 during the week. 

While Uniswap V4 occupies the top in the number of wallets, the platform occupied the 6th place in terms of the total volume of transactions, which reached $ 1.15 billion. It shows relatively many users, presumably for checking or infrequent orders, but it hardly rivals prior protocol versions’ peak introduction rates.

1inch, another Ethereum-based DApp, posted $884.52 million in weekly volume while engaging 29,470 unique wallets. Both metrics’ numbers are in the mid-range, indicating consistent activity among decentralized exchange users and aggregators.

Curve, Uniswap V2, and Pendle closed out the top ten rankings, each reporting less than $300 million in transaction volume. Curve stood out with the lowest wallet count of all listed protocols, at 392, even though its balance neared $300 million. Uniswap V2 and Pendle also displayed low engagement and throughput compared to newer or more actively used alternatives.

It emerged that there were some protocols with little wallet count handling billions in volume while others with vast wallets got little or low activity. They indicate shifting consumer tendencies in decentralized finance where fewer protection groups could potentially complete larger worths and efficiency might compensate for scarce or no interaction.

The ranks remain focused on how significant differences in the performance of decentralized finance protocols can be found even within the same network. Though Morpho took total volume, Uniswap V4’s wallet activity and Sky speak of one kind of dominance in each measure.
