• Note that people typically multiply Clipper’s volume by 3.3x to compare it to other DEXs. This is because Clipper’s prices are firm, precluding arbitrage/MEV bots. In contrast, 70% of Uniswap (and other CPMM) volume is arbitrage/MEV bots programmatically reacting to ‘real trades’. Mathematically, 1 / (1-70%) = 3.3x.
