abstract: |
We benchmark how many networks each major DEX indexer publishes as
actively indexed for pools + swap volumes. The harness fetches the
official listing every six hours from five providers (GeckoTerminal,
Codex, DefiLlama, DexPaprika, Sim by Dune), deduplicates by chain id
or platform slug and counts. Mainnet only. Asset-registry coverage
(chains where the provider knows tokens for contract-address lookups)
is measured on bench asset-registry-coverage because it answers a
different question, an API can list tokens on 300 chains through a
market-data pipeline while running DEX pool indexing on only a
dozen. Both leaderboards live under Aggregators so a reader can
compare a provider on the axis that matches their product.

methodology:
- "Source: each provider's public DEX-indexer networks endpoint."
- "GeckoTerminal: GET /api/v2/networks (paginated, no auth). Chains where GeckoTerminal actively indexes DEX pools + trades."
- "Codex: GraphQL `getNetworks` query at https://graph.codex.io/graphql with an official API key. Chains covered by Defined.fi's DEX data pipeline."
- "DefiLlama: GET https://api.llama.fi/chains (no auth). Chains tracked by DefiLlama's TVL crawler, every chain with at least one indexed DeFi protocol, DEX chains are a subset."
- "DexPaprika: GET https://api.dexpaprika.com/networks (no auth). CoinPaprika's dedicated DEX tracker product, separate from the market-data API."
- "Sim by Dune: GET https://api.sim.dune.com/v1/evm/supported-chains (no auth). EVM only, mainnets filtered via the `mainnet` tag."
- "Cadence: full refresh every 6 hours."

a: "{{best_name}} currently leads at {{best_p50}} chains across {{count}} measured providers. The count is read every six hours directly from each provider's own DEX-networks endpoint and deduplicated by chain id, so the leaderboard reflects where each API actively indexes DEX pools + swap volumes today, not a claim from a marketing page."
- q: "Why is this bench separate from asset-registry-coverage?"
a: "DEX-pool coverage and asset-registry coverage are two different products, not a single metric. GeckoTerminal indexes DEX pools on ~265 chains via `/networks`; CoinPaprika lists 300+ chains in `/v1/contracts` because it indexes token metadata everywhere. Comparing them on one leaderboard makes the number meaningless, a market-data API always wins on chain count while a DEX indexer always wins on pool-level depth. This bench answers the DEX-indexing question. The sister bench asset-registry-coverage answers the token-lookup question."
- q: "Does DefiLlama really index DEX pools on 400+ chains?"
a: "DefiLlama's `/chains` endpoint tracks every chain with at least one indexed DeFi protocol (DEXes, lending, LSTs, restaking, bridges, oracles), so the count is broader than DEX-only. DEX chains are a subset. DefiLlama sits on the leaderboard because the same crawler backs their DEX-volumes aggregator, and the endpoint is the canonical open reference for `chains with meaningful onchain financial activity`. Read alongside the more DEX-specific counts from GeckoTerminal, Codex and DexPaprika for the DEX-only view."
- q: "Why isn't CoinGecko / Mobula / CoinPaprika on this leaderboard?"
a: "Those providers are measured on the sister bench asset-registry-coverage because their product is chain-scoped token metadata + market data, not DEX pool indexing. CoinGecko powers GeckoTerminal on the DEX side, but the token-registry number and the DEX-indexed number are measured separately because they answer different questions. Mobula and CoinPaprika are market-data APIs, not DEX pool indexers, DexPaprika is CoinPaprika's dedicated DEX product and is on this leaderboard."
