Monthly Swap Volume
Q2. Show the total monthly swap volume on ParaSwap over the past year. How has the swap volume changed over time? Which DEX’s is most of the swap volume coming from?

What Is ParaSwap?
ParaSwap is a user-friendly, DeFi-based exchange platform created with the user's convenience in mind. Each Paraswap transaction provides the user with a summary, which includes the projected cost, price effect, and minimum received. In addition, routing information is shown to aid consumers in understanding the course their tokens have travelled and reduce misunderstanding. Important to note is that Paraswap exchanges impose no extra expenses on the user, who is just required to pay gas fees as with any DeFi exchange. Through a number of internal routing techniques, Paraswap provides the end-user with the ideal route and effective pricing. Once a user connects to the exchange, Paraswap seeks the best exchange rate using a price aggregator that retrieves off-chain pricing, and then conducts the swap using a smart contract that deposits the fee into a fee wallet. Occasionally, this may necessitate splitting a single order into many exchanges, if doing so is the most cost-effective method to complete the swap. This method reduces the necessity for users to compare prices, freeing them their time to concentrate on perfecting their trading strategy or educating themselves about the cryptocurrency market, like as via the use of CoinMarketCap Alexandria. The "Swap & Transfer" feature enables users can quickly transmit tokens to other users at any address, thereby simplifying transactions between parties.
How does ParaSwap work?
The only need for using ParaSwap is an Ethereum wallet, which is all a user needs to access the exchange. A user may create an account either using the Paraswap web app or by downloading the Paraswap app. The individual may then use a hot wallet, such as MetaMask, or a cold wallet, such as the Ledger Nano. The next step requires users to establish an Ethereum account on Ledger Live. On the Swap tab of Ledger Live, the user must choose Paraswap as the supplier. Here, the user may choose the Ethereum account they want to use and the tokens they wish to exchange. The last step consists of confirming the swap information on the user's Ledger hardware wallet.
What Is Special In ParaSwap?
Paraswap is distinctive in that it enables massive Ethereum transfers, with transactions above 15 ETH being the most efficient. Additionally, Paraswap permits transfers including contacts with many DeFi protocols. Paraswap also enables customers to combine their DeFi exchanges and execute the swaps in a single transaction, so optimizing their gas costs. While Ethereum is the primary token traded on Paraswap, the exchange also accepts payment in a variety of fiat currencies, saving customers a significant number of steps.
