Next is Trader Joe, which is built on the Avalanche blockchain. The platform is a self-proclaimed ‘one-stop-shop decentralized trading platform’, and charges a 0.3% trading fee, of which, 0.25% goes to liquidity providers and the rest goes to the Trader Joe platform.

Quick Swap

Third on the list is the Polygon-based, Quick Swap, which launched in October 2020. It’s a really big player in the DeFi space with its $691.86 million in total value locked. The platform charges a 0.3% trading fee.

Raydium

Solana-based Raydium is ranked number 1 on DappRadar’s DeFi rankings list for volume traded on its platform over the last week. The platform shares liquidity with the Serum decentralized exchange, creating massive financial clout for both platforms. Users are charged 0.25% trading fees when using the Raydium platform.

ApeSwap

Seventh on the list is ApeSwap which is built on the Binance Smart Chain and Polygon. Users are currently incentivized by the platform to pool liquidity by offering more than attractive returns through yield farming. The best rate is paid out in ApeSwap’s native token, which is called BANANA. The platform charges a 0.2% trading fee.

1Inch Network

Although not licensed to operate in the U.S., 1Inch Network is number 8 on today’s list as it offers users from the rest of the globe zero-fee trading and helps them find the best rates on the market. The platform is a decentralized exchange aggregator, meaning it searches across all platforms to find the best price for users at that moment in time.

Sushi

Sushi is a fork of Uniswap and offers users the ability to trade and swap across multiple blockchains. Users can circumvent the higher fees native to centralized exchanges by using bridging tokens and timing their trades correctly. Users pay a 0.3% trading fee for trading and swapping on Sushi.

Last on the list is Orca, which is a Solana-based decentralized crypto exchange. Over the past month, the number of users on Orca has increased by 58.3% to around 69,240. A key indicator that the platform has decent growth potential is its ratio of market cap to total value locked.
