Overall Size and Locked Value

Metric secures about $20.5 million in total value locked, placing it well below THORChain’s roughly $60.4 million. This three‑fold difference highlights THORChain’s larger capital attraction. Both platforms show divergent seven‑day TVL trends, with Metric rising around 15 % and THORChain slipping about 6 %.

Trading Activity and Fees

Metric processes around $298.6 million in 24‑hour volume, edging out THORChain’s $279 million. While Metric’s fee data is not reported, THORChain users paid roughly $307 thousand in fees over the same period, indicating active revenue generation on that side.

Network Reach

Metric operates on 11 chains, including Ethereum, BSC, Polygon and several Layer‑2s. THORChain covers 13 chains, adding Bitcoin, Ripple, Doge and others to its cross‑chain capabilities. The broader network list gives THORChain a slightly wider reach.

Who Might Prefer Each DEX

Users seeking a platform with higher recent TVL growth and a modest chain footprint may lean toward Metric, especially if they value its strong 24‑hour volume. Traders interested in cross‑chain swaps that include native Bitcoin and other non‑EVM assets, and who appreciate fee‑based activity, may find THORChain more suitable.
