Both protocols saw TVL decline over the past week, with PancakeSwap down around 5.5% and Curve down about 7%.
Activity and Fees
Daily trading volume on PancakeSwap reaches roughly $1.08 billion, while Curve records about $690 million. The higher volume on PancakeSwap points to more frequent trades.
In the same 24‑hour window users paid about $696 k in fees to PancakeSwap compared with roughly $376 k on Curve, reflecting greater revenue generation from activity.
Networks and Reach
PancakeSwap is available on 13 different blockchains, including BSC, Ethereum, Polygon zkEVM and Solana. Curve Finance spans 32 networks, covering Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche and many others.
Curve’s broader chain coverage gives it a wider geographic footprint, while PancakeSwap focuses on a more limited but diverse set of platforms.
Who Each DEX Suits
PancakeSwap’s larger TVL and higher trading activity make it attractive for users seeking deep liquidity and robust market depth, especially on BSC and emerging chains.
Curve Finance’s extensive multi‑chain presence and its focus on stablecoin and low‑slippage swaps suit traders who prioritize cross‑chain options and specialized liquidity pools.
