Discovery and markets API
Which DEXes exist on this chain?
An unranked directory of the decentralised exchanges on a chain, one row per venue and AMM version, with the venue ids pool endpoints return.
/api/external/discovery/dexes/{chain}What it returns
A DIRECTORY of the decentralised exchanges known on one chain, one row per venue and AMM version (Uniswap V2 and Uniswap V3 are two rows), sorted by name. dexId and dexLabel are the same pair pool-detail, pools and pair publish for a pool, so a row names the venue those endpoints return. It is NOT a ranking: there is no volume, no pool count and no activity figure, and a venue on the list may have no live pool today. For launch platforms read venues; for the most active pools read top-pools.
