QuickSwap has distributed over **$208.5 million in fees** to liquidity providers since launch. This milestone represents the cumulative rewards earned by LPs on the Polygon-based DEX. The platform previously reported $17+ million in fees generated over a 12-month period on Polygon PoS. **Key points:** - Total all-time LP fee distribution exceeds $208.5M - Fees are distributed directly to liquidity providers - Platform operates on Polygon network with minimal gas costs QuickSwap continues to serve as a major decentralized exchange on Polygon, offering fast transaction speeds and low-cost trading for DeFi users.

QuickSwap has secured the **#8 position globally** among decentralized exchanges based on fees generated over the past seven days, according to data from DefiLlama. This ranking represents a significant milestone for the Polygon-based DEX, demonstrating strong trading activity and user engagement. The platform continues to build on its momentum from earlier in 2025, when it was recognized as one of the top DEXs for daily active users. The fee generation metric is a key indicator of a DEX's trading volume and overall health, as it directly reflects the platform's usage and liquidity depth.

QuickSwap, a decentralized exchange originally built on Polygon, has processed over $2.09 million in 24-hour trading volume on the Base network. **Key Points:** - Trading volume reached $2.093+ million on Base - Marks continued activity on the Layer 2 network - Previously ranked #4 on Base with $3.56+ million volume in October 2025 The DEX continues its multi-chain expansion beyond its Polygon origins, maintaining presence on Base's growing ecosystem.

QuickSwap executed another weekly buyback, purchasing **2.294 million QUICK tokens** and removing **0.2294% of the total supply** from circulation. **Recent buyback activity:** - Week of Jan 27: 2.294M QUICK (0.2294% of supply) - Week of Jan 20: 2.08M QUICK (0.208% of supply) - Week of Jan 13: 3.9M QUICK (0.3917% of supply) The DEX has maintained consistent buyback programs throughout early 2026, systematically reducing token supply. These buybacks use protocol revenue to purchase tokens from the open market, creating deflationary pressure on the QUICK token. The cumulative effect of these weekly buybacks represents a meaningful reduction in circulating supply over time, potentially benefiting existing token holders through increased scarcity.
