13. [Easy] Combinations
This dashboard looks at different metrics of swap pairs on the THORChain protocol. To find the most popular swap pairs, I found the total number of swaps and the total swap volume for each one. The first graph in this dashboard looks at the top five swap pairs by total number of swaps. By far the top two pairs are BUSD to RUNE and RUNE to BUSD, each about three times the number of swaps of the next highest pair. Looking at the next graph, the top 5 pairs by swap volume, we can see that BUSD to RUNE and RUNE to BUSD are again by far the most popular. This suggests that the RUNE-BUSD pool is the most widely used pool for swapping, although interestingly enough it does not have the highest liquidity. Currently as of 11/4/21, the RUNE-BTC pool has the highest liquidity at about $77 million. This suggests that just because a pool is popular for swapping, that doesn't mean it is the most popular for depositing assets into.
