Fluid vs SunSwap

Volume & Liquidity

Fluid posts $290.6M in 24h volume versus $86.6M for SunSwap, giving Fluid roughly 3.4× higher trading activity. Higher turnover generally implies tighter effective pricing, more consistent fills, and better support for larger order sizes—assuming liquidity is real and sustained.

On the liquidity side, the provided TVL figures diverge sharply: Fluid shows $0 TVL while SunSwap reports $1.7M TVL. In practice, a $0 TVL reading often indicates missing/unsupported TVL reporting rather than literal absence of liquidity, but per the dataset it still means SunSwap has the only explicitly measurable on-chain liquidity base.

Putting both together, Fluid clearly dominates market activity (volume), while SunSwap is the only one with non-zero reported TVL. For most traders, especially those prioritizing execution and continuous flow, Fluid’s volume lead is the stronger signal in this comparison.

Fee Structure & Costs

Based on the provided metrics, Fluid generated $53K in 24h fees and $9K in revenue, implying users are paying identifiable trading costs that accrue to the protocol and/or liquidity providers. This is consistent with typical DEX designs where swaps incur pool fees (and sometimes additional protocol fees) on top of network gas.

SunSwap shows $0 fees and $0 revenue over the same period in the dataset. Interpreted strictly, that suggests a cheaper cost profile for traders at the protocol-fee level (even though users still pay Tron network transaction costs). If fees are truly zero or heavily subsidized, that can be attractive for high-frequency or smaller-ticket traders.

Gas considerations also matter: Ethereum-based venues (as Fluid is described) commonly have higher gas costs than Tron-based venues, which generally strengthens the “all-in cost” advantage for SunSwap for typical swap sizes. With the dataset showing zero fees plus generally lower L1 costs, SunSwap offers better fee value in this comparison.

Multi-chain & Ecosystem

SunSwap is explicitly listed on Tron, which provides a clear ecosystem anchor: wallets, stablecoin liquidity, and Tron-native user bases can integrate directly with the DEX. Even if it is single-chain, the chain coverage is unambiguous and actionable.

Fluid’s chain field is N/A in the provided data, even though the description references Ethereum. For the purpose of this section (which must rely on the dataset), the lack of explicit chain coverage reduces clarity around where liquidity lives, what wallets are supported, and what broader ecosystem integrations are straightforward.

Because SunSwap has explicit chain support in the data and thus a more clearly defined integration surface, it has the stronger ecosystem footing in this comparison.

User Recommendations

Choose Fluid if you prioritize high activity and potentially better execution for actively traded pairs, or if you’re an advanced trader who benefits from a venue that is already showing substantial throughput ($290.6M daily volume). Fluid also lists 122 trading pairs across 36 supported coins, which may suit traders focused on a curated set of assets with heavier turnover.

Choose SunSwap if you are Tron-native, value lower network friction, and want exposure to a broader set of tokens (64 supported coins) with a straightforward DEX flow. Tron’s generally low transaction costs can make portfolio rebalancing and smaller swaps feel smoother, which often translates into better day-to-day UX for retail users.

Overall UX tends to be best where onboarding is simple, transactions are cheap, and confirmations are quick—areas where Tron-based DEX usage patterns typically shine. For most non-institutional users optimizing for convenience and predictable costs, SunSwap is the more comfortable default.

Trends & Innovation

Fluid is newer (established 2024) yet already shows very high 24h volume, which can be a sign of rapid product-market fit, strong routing/aggregator adoption, or differentiated market structure that attracts flow. Newer DEXs that scale quickly often iterate faster on execution quality, capital efficiency, and incentive design.

SunSwap (established 2023) is positioned as “V3,” which commonly signals concentrated-liquidity mechanics and an evolution toward more professional LP tooling. However, V3-style designs are widely adopted across many chains, so the innovation edge depends on how much SunSwap differentiates beyond a standard concentrated-liquidity deployment and how effectively it grows liquidity depth.

With the limited trend data marked N/A, the best forward-looking signal available is trajectory implied by adoption: Fluid’s very large volume relative to its age suggests stronger momentum and a higher likelihood of continued experimentation and feature expansion to defend that flow.
