Osmosis

Osmosis is a Layer 1 blockchain and decentralized exchange built within the Cosmos ecosystem, a network of interoperable blockchains connected through the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol. Its stated purpose is to let users trade and provide liquidity across more than fifty sovereign blockchains, as well as assets bridged in from networks such as Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Polkadot, all without relying on a centralized intermediary. The protocol is aimed at anyone who wants to swap or pool cross-chain assets in a decentralized setting.

Osmosis operates as its own sovereign blockchain and hosts liquidity pools using both a Balancer-style weighted model and a concentrated liquidity model, the latter designed to require meaningfully less capital to support a given volume of trading with low slippage. OSMO is the native token of the chain and is used for paying transaction fees, participating in governance over protocol parameters, and incentivizing liquidity providers. The consensus algorithm is not recorded in the current data set, so no further detail on block production can be given here.

Fees are generated by traders swapping assets across the protocol's liquidity pools. Over the trailing 30 days the protocol collected 2,552.51 USD in fees, and over the trailing 12 months it collected 10,875.04 USD; annualizing the 30-day figure produces an estimate of 31,055.54 USD per year. Revenue to the protocol itself — meaning the share of fees retained rather than distributed — was 0.00 USD over the past 24 hours, the trailing 30 days, and the trailing 12 months, indicating that at present the protocol does not keep a portion of collected fees for its own treasury. Fee growth over the last 30 days was negative 25.18 percent.
