Uniswap Labs, the company behind the Uniswap decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol, has surpassed $50 million in cumulative front-end fees.

The revenue stream stems from a 0.15% fee implemented on user transactions through the Uniswap web interface and wallet app last October.

The firm increased this fee to 0.25% in April, contributing to the rise in collected fees.

Since the start of the year, these fees have surged from $3.7 million to over $50.6 million, marking more than a thirteenfold increase.

Uniswap continues to dominate the DEX landscape, maintaining its position as the largest platform by trading volume.

In July alone, Uniswap facilitated $54 billion out of a total $154 billion in swap volume across all DEXs, accounting for nearly one-third of the market.

While Uniswap Labs benefits from these fees, users can bypass them by using DEX aggregators like 1inch, Cowswap, and Paraswap.

Despite the alternatives, Uniswap’s front-end remains the most popular, representing 25.7% of DEX activity in July, compared to 19.8% for 1inch, the leading aggregator.
