Metric
DEX of active pools: a price provider quotes bid, ask and a reference price from oracles or custom rules, and pool liquidity sits in percentage bins around that reference.
- Each pool has a Price Provider that quotes bid, ask and a reference price; trades move price only relative to that reference
- Liquidity sits in percentage bins around the reference and moves with it, so LPs do not reset ranges
- Live on Ethereum, BNB Chain and Robinhood Chain, with tokenized stocks priced from oracle feeds
- Order flow also arrives from aggregators such as 0x, 1inch, OKX, KyberSwap, CoW Swap and PancakeSwap
- Curators run public pools that take outside liquidity; market makers run private pools with their own capital
Six criteria, each 1 to 5 from the facts on this page, weighted into one score inside its category. How we score
- Depth
- Three chains; $262M volume in 24h and $12.9M TVL (DefiLlama, Oct 21 2026)
- Cost
- No fee added on top: the spread is in the quote; Metric can switch on up to 1% per pool
- Ease
- Wallet only, no sign-up; public API with no key; routes compared with aggregators
- Trust
- Pools hold LP deposits; five audits by Zellic and Sherlock; launched Oct 2026
- Access
- No KYC, but the terms close it to the US and sanctioned places
- Rewards
- No points, token or airdrop; LPs earn a spread share; referral codes live, reward not stated
Cost to start: Gas on the chain you use. No trading or frontend fee is added on top: you pay the spread inside the quote, plus any bin fee the curator set, and a notional fee of up to 1% if Metric switches it on for that pool (off by default).
- Open app.metric.xyz, connect a wallet and choose Ethereum, BNB Chain or Robinhood Chain
- Pick the tokens and amount, then compare the Metric route with aggregator routes
- Check the quoted output, price impact and slippage, approve the token and confirm the swap
- Before giving liquidity, check the pool tier, who curates it, its fee shares and any withdrawal extension
Metric says providing liquidity is high risk and you can lose your entire deposit: a malicious or compromised curator with unrestricted pricing can drain a pool, a custom withdrawal extension can block exits, and safeguards such as StopLoss and Velocity Guard do not cap losses. The APR shown is Edge APR, the last 7 days of spread annualized, not total return; price moves can outweigh it. Curators and Metric can change their share of the spread at any time with no timelock. A referral program is live, but Metric has not said what it pays and can change or end it.
