As liquidity incentives ended on decentralized exchange protocol Uniswap, the platform saw an exodus of Ethereum and other tokens to rivals like Sushiswap and others, data from multiple sources showed. The cause For the uninitiated, Uniswap is a type of automated market maker that pools funds from users for different trade pairings — such as ETH/USDT or UNI/ETH — and automatically matches trades. In return, it pays all pool contributors a fraction of trading fees generated on the platform, giving them an incentive to continue to pool their funds (and able to stake liquidity tokens on other DeFi apps for yields). As a result, the pools are massively influenced by whichever pools are generating the highest yields for users. This means a majority of the userbase is more profit-seeking than loyal to a particular DEX — creating a scenario where protocols giving the highest yields temporarily attract the highest funds, but lose users quickly once those yields dry out.
