SaucerSwap posted a tweet on 6 November that stated its DEX platform would be a preferred option over other alternatives for multiple reasons. One of the reasons was its Annual Percentage Rate (APR).

SaucerSwap’s APR stood at 21.16% which was higher then the other APR’s provided by DEXs, such as SushiSwap. Additionally, other benefits such as governance tokens and staking rewards were mentioned as well. Despite providing these benefits, the number of unique active wallets continued to decline over the past seven days and depreciated by 2.94%.

However, other popular Hedera dApps such as HeliSwap and Transit Swap, witnessed growth in the same sector. This was because the number of unique active wallets grew by 43% and 11.59% respectively.
