The Problem
Centralized exchanges hold custody, gate listings, and concentrate fee value with operators. Early DEXes returned all fees to LPs and gave token holders no economic share.
The Solution
SushiSwap is a community-governed AMM where a slice of every swap fee (0.05% of 0.30%) is routed to xSUSHI stakers via continuous SUSHI buybacks, while the remainder accrues to LPs — combining DEX trading, multi-chain aggregation, and tokenholder yield.
Why it Matters
Pioneered fee-share staking for DEX governance tokens five years before Uniswap activated its fee switch. Operates across 40+ chains — the broadest multi-chain DEX footprint in DeFi — and offers an in-house aggregator routing across both Sushi pools and external venues.
