# Get exchange stats

GET https://api.prod.paradex.trade/v1/system/stats

Get exchange-wide stats for Paradex

## Response

```json
{"lifetime_volume": "238214593201.52"}
```

* `lifetime_volume`: USD volume traded on every market ever listed, expired
  and delisted markets included

The figure is refreshed about once an hour and cached for an hour on top of
that, so it can be up to two hours old; polling faster returns the same value.
