Use a genuine period-over-period denominator
The calculation divides current period volume by previous period volume, subtracts one and multiplies by 100. It uses the paired aggregate fields for that window rather than assuming every provider change field has the same meaning. Rows with missing or nonpositive prior totals are excluded from percentage comparison. This prevents a newly covered venue with no usable denominator from appearing as an infinite growth opportunity.
Read direction, magnitude and scale together
For a hypothetical exchange rising from $40 million to $60 million over consecutive seven-day periods, the difference is $20 million and the increase is 50%. Another exchange rising from $2 million to $4 million grows 100% but adds only $2 million. The screen shows both absolute and percentage differences, with a minimum current-period volume to control scale. The direction filter separates increasing and decreasing records when investigating a particular pattern.
A trading surge does not explain itself
Higher volume can reflect more volatile prices, shifting routes, incentives or changes in provider coverage. The aggregate comparison does not identify which explanation applies or whether the activity is likely to continue. Deployment-chain filtering retains each qualifying DEX’s global totals, so use the chain-specific view for location-specific activity. Review current token pools or fee data to answer additional questions, and record the window with your export. Consecutive monthly totals are not interchangeable with a daily value compared to its level a month ago.
