Size and money locked
Uniswap has roughly $3.7 billion locked in its pools, while Aero holds about $358 million. This makes Uniswap more than ten times larger in terms of TVL. Uniswap’s TVL is stable with a 0.4% increase over the past week, whereas Aero’s TVL fell by about 2.6% in the same period.
Activity and fees
Uniswap sees around $2.7 billion of trade volume each day, compared with Aero’s $975 million. The higher volume translates into higher fees collected: Uniswap users paid about $2.9 million in fees in the last 24 hours, while Aero users paid roughly $440 000. Both platforms show strong daily usage, but Uniswap’s activity is considerably larger.
Network reach
Uniswap operates on 47 different chains, giving it a broad cross‑chain presence. Aero supports 16 chains, focusing on a more limited set of networks. The larger number of supported chains gives Uniswap a wider reach for users and liquidity providers.
Who each platform suits
Uniswap’s massive TVL, high volume and extensive chain support make it suitable for users seeking deep liquidity and broad market access. Aero’s smaller but still significant TVL and volume, along with its focus on institutional‑grade execution, may appeal to traders who prefer a more curated cross‑chain experience on a select group of networks.
