What is SushiSwap (SUSHI)?

Ethereum helped bring blockchain and smart contract technology into different industries. This led to the development of decentralized apps (dApps) that allowed people to lend, borrow, farm for yields, stake tokens, and more. Even though SushiSwap started as a hard fork of Uniswap, it has unique features. So, what exactly is SushiSwap crypto, and how does it help with decentralized finance? Let's dive in!

SushiSwap is a decentralized cryptocurrency trading platform on the Ethereum blockchain, functioning as a decentralized exchange (DEX). Users provide liquidity by staking their cryptocurrencies as collateral for trading. SushiSwap was created by anonymous user "Chef Nomi," along with "sushiswap" and "0xMaki" as co-founders.  

SushiSwap crypto provides various trading pairs and enables users to have full control of their funds through smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. SushiSwap is a crypto exchange that uses an automated market maker (AMM) model. It enables traders to transact in cryptocurrencies without intermediaries through smart contracts. SushiSwap operates with an automated liquidity protocol where users can deposit their crypto assets into pools to execute trades at current market prices.

SUSHI is the native SushiSwap crypto coin. It is an ERC-20 token used as a reward for liquidity providers on the platform. Users earn SUSHI by offering funds to trading pairs on the DEX, with rewards based on the amount and duration of liquidity provided. Furthermore, SUSHI token holders can participate in governing the SushiSwap by suggesting ideas and casting votes on important platform decisions. SUSHI tokens are tradable on multiple crypto exchanges and can be stored in any Ethereum-compatible wallet.  

SushiSwap is composed of three key components:  

  • Smart Contracts - These handle things like figuring out token prices, managing token liquidity in pools, and deciding how the platform is run.
  • Interface - The interface allows users to access smart contract functionality, create liquidity pools, trade tokens, and participate in platform governance. SushiSwap offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it accessible to all users.
  • Community - The SushiSwap community is an important part of the platform. There are lots of developers, users, and token holders who are involved in making the platform better and helping it grow.

Liquidity providers help the SushiSwap crypto by adding their money to pools. They do this by connecting their Ethereum wallet to the SushiSwap farming protocol and storing two assets in a smart contract. For instance, the USDT/ETH pool has an equal number of USDT and ETH from providers.

After purchasing tokens, buyers can trade them with other tokens in the pool according to the rules of the protocol. SushiSwap's smart contracts handle this process by taking tokens from the buyer and giving them an equal value of tokens in return. This helps to maintain a consistent total pool price.

Providers who keep money in these pools get paid fees and a share of the 100 new SUSHI coins made each day. They can take out their money and any cryptocurrency they earn whenever they want.

If users want to earn more cryptocurrency after collecting their SUSHI tokens, they can use the SuSUSHIar app. It lets users stake SUSHI to earn xSUSHI tokens. These xSUSHI tokens are made up of SUSHI tokens purchased from the market using some fees earned on the exchange.

Over time, SushiSwap has thrived with new projects and uses. The key feature of SushiSwap is its decentralized exchange. In 2021, they also started a project called “Shoyu” to improve existing NFT marketplaces, but it didn't get much attention from users.  

Another feature called "Kashi" is a tool in the SushiSwap system that lets users lend and borrow assets, as well as engage in leverage trading. Lastly, "SuSUSHIar" is a feature that allows users to earn rewards by staking their SUSHI tokens.
