Uniswap - CEX to DEX and DEX to CEX

    Methodology:

    To perform this dashboard I have mainly used ethereum.core.ez_token_transfers and ethereum.core.dim_labels tables from the Ethereum scheme.

    To cover all the CEX->DEX / DEX->CEX UNI transfers I've filtered transfers with symbol = 'UNI' and merged it with ethereum.core.dim_labels on condition that from_address were labeled as CEX and to_address DEX and vice versa.


    This dashboard provides a comprehensive analysis of weekly UNI transfer activity between CEX and DEX platforms.
    The analysis is divided into three tabs:

    • Overall presents UNI transfer activity for both directions and offers a comparison across key metrics such as transferred volume, transfers, unique users, and average/median USD transfer amounts.
    • CEX->DEX / DEX->CEX breakdown shows the same UNI flows metrics as mentioned above in Overall section splitted by CEX/DEX

    Introduction:

    The Uniswap protocol is a peer-to-peer1 system designed for exchanging cryptocurrencies (ERC-20 Tokens) on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is implemented as a set of persistent, non-upgradable smart contracts; designed to prioritize censorship resistance, security, self-custody, and to function without any trusted intermediaries who may selectively restrict access.

    UNI is the native ERC-20 token of the Uniswap decentralized exchange. As a ‘governance token,’ UNI’s primary utility (or function) is to provide its owner with the right to vote on decisions relating to platform governance.
    UNI token holders can stake the tokens in order to earn a yearly yield. Worth noting is that users must own 1% of the circulating supply in order to submit proposals to the Uniswap protocol. Some users may purchase additional tokens in order to gain influence on the network.

    Centralized Exchange (CEX) - It is a type of cryptocurrency exchange that is centralized and operates under the control of a central authority or organization.

    Decentralized Exchange (DEX) - It is a type of cryptocurrency exchange that operates in a decentralized manner, without a central authority or organization controlling the platform.
