Leading DeFi hub QuickSwap has announced its expansion to the Base ecosystem. The long-awaited deployment on the leading Layer-2 network brings excitement to the QuickSwap community and the wider DeFi ecosystem, signalling new opportunities and liquidity incentives for participants.
QuickSwap once started on Polygon, but has expanded to a wide range of blockchain ecosystems. After expansions to Ethereum and Soneium, Base becomes the new frontier. The Base network is well known for its pioneering role in AI agentic tech, and the rapidly growing ecosystem now benefits from QuickSwap’s leading and high-performance DeFi services.
QuickSwap’s expansion onto Base represents a natural progression in its quest to expand and support innovative onchain communities with bright and community-centric features. Among the innovations offered by QuickSwap, you will find the ability for gasless perpetual trading with QuickPerp Falkor. It has really become the all-in-one DeFi hub on Base chain, where users can do everything in one click, from swapping to trading perps, to LP provision and farming.
On top of all the product innovations, QuickSwap has secured a wide range of integration with industry leading platforms and protocols such as Gamma, Steer Protocol, Kyberswap, Orbs Network, Merkl, and more are coming.
QuickSwap growing fast
Innovation brings demand. In the past year the total value locked in the QuickSwap ecosystem has increased 5x. The growth since April has been tremendous, now reaching $358 million in TVL. More importantly, user numbers have gone up as well.
Early January 2025, QuickSwap attracted around 7,000 active wallets per day. These wallets would do an average of 3 transactions each. Fast forward six months, and the DeFi hub now has 40,000 active wallets per day, a little more than 2 transactions per day each.
In the past 30 days these wallets were responsible for $1.59 billion in dapp volume. This encompasses swapping tokens, but also providing liquidity or staking. With 15% growth month-over-month, we expect even more growth after the Base integration.
QuickSwap features
At the moment the QuickSwap DeFi hub has a total value locked of more than $358 million across the various chains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Immutable, Soneium and Manta Pacific. With the expansion to Base, it’s expected that the TVL on QuickSwap will grow further. Base already has $4.7 billion in value locked in its ecosystem, and with QuickSwap grassroot development initiatives they will offer the DeFi community on Base strong opportunities.
Through QuickSwap, the Base community can do the following:
- Swap tokens permissionless and across different chains
- Supply liquidity, and earn 0.25% fee on trades proportional to your share of the pool
- Trade perpetuals with up to 100x leverage and zero gas fees
- Buy bonds into early projects that are looking for liquidity
- Stake QUICK, to earn tokens from the Syrup pools
- Stake your liquidity position (LP) tokens
- Buy crypto using Apple Pay, your credit card or a bank transfer.
All this is possible with just one click. It makes QuickSwap the all-in-one DeFi hub on Base chain. With QuickSwap’s Base deployment now complete, the dragon DeFi suite has made its convictions clear: Web3 ecosystems can take the next steps forward in any and all market conditions.
