The dashboard paints a clear picture of the Aptos DEX ecosystem's rapid growth and competition. The soaring onboarding numbers and trading volumes signify increasing traction, likely fueled by improved platform functionality, ecosystem incentives, and growing awareness of Aptos' potential.

My dashboard is a developed version of my old and was inspired by Hess, from whom I forked some queries to use as a basis for my analysis!

In the subsequent analysis, we specifically targeted new users—those transacting on Aptos' DEXs for the first time. To be considered 'new active users,' individuals had to have an active duration of at least 7 days and a last active duration of 7 days or less.
