Liquidity providers deposit funds into QuickSwap and receive trading fees from traders (supply-side fees).

QuickSwap is a non-custodial exchange protocol built on Polygon. QuickSwap was founded by Nick Mudge & Sameep Singhania and launched in 2020.

QUICK tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total trading fees paid by traders (revenue).

# QuickSwap Tradeable pairs Methodology

## 1. Overview

Tradeable pairs is defined as the number of unique asset pairs available for trading on the decentralized exchange. The number of direct swap routes offered by QuickSwap is reflected by this metric. Data is aggregated across multiple protocol versions and deployments, including V2 and V3 implementations, to provide a comprehensive count of all active liquidity pools.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: `PairCreated` and `PoolCreated` events from `Factory` contracts, and `Pool` events from `AlgebraFactory` contracts, covering Polygon, Base, and Manta

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Pair and pool identification

- **Purpose**: Identify all unique liquidity pools and trading pairs deployed across the protocol.
- **Logic**: `PairCreated` and `PoolCreated` events from `Factory` contracts, and `Pool` events from `AlgebraFactory` contracts, are parsed to identify unique liquidity pool addresses. The addresses of the two assets comprising each pair are also extracted to ensure unique identification of the trading route.
- **Key fields**: `token0` address, `token1` address, and the unique pair or pool address.

### Component B: Inception date determination

- **Purpose**: Establish the date each trading pair first became available for trading.
- **Logic**: The earliest block timestamp associated with each unique pool address is identified to determine the date of its first appearance. This timestamp is truncated to a daily grain to facilitate historical aggregation.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` (timing).

### Component C: Aggregation and cumulative summation

- **Purpose**: Calculate the total number of tradeable pairs available on the exchange over time.
- **Logic**: The number of new unique pairs is aggregated by day and chain. A cumulative sum is then performed over the daily counts to determine the total number of tradeable pairs available on any given date. Zero-filling is applied to ensure the metric is reported for every day in the time series, maintaining a continuous record of available liquidity routes.
