Plain English

SushiSwap is a DEX launched in 2020 via “vampire attack” — incentivizing Uniswap V2 LPs to migrate liquidity to SushiSwap with SUSHI rewards. Now multi-chain (40+ chains). SUSHI is the platform token.

How it actually works

AMM-based with concentrated liquidity (Trident V2). Suite includes Sushi DEX, BentoBox (capital-efficient lending), Kashi (isolated lending markets), MISO (token launchpad), and Furo (token streams for payroll). xSUSHI stakers receive a share of trading fees as real yield.

What it means for you

SushiSwap is a “Uniswap of the multi-chain world” — present on chains where Uniswap is not, especially smaller L1s. For traders living across multiple chains, having Sushi as a venue option is useful. xSUSHI staking is one of the older real-yield mechanisms in DeFi.
