Quick Fact
Launched in August 2020 as a fork of Uniswap, SushiSwap introduced incentives for liquidity providers via the SUSHI token. It has since expanded its ecosystem across 30+ blockchains, pioneered AMM innovations like Trident and Route Processor, and maintained governance control through both on-chain voting and the council structure of Sushi Labs.
SushiSwap DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization that governs the SushiSwap protocol—a cross-chain decentralized exchange offering automated market making (AMM), liquidity provisioning, and yield farming services. Founded in 2020 as a community-led fork of Uniswap, SushiSwap has since evolved into a modular, multi-chain DeFi platform with deployments on over 30 blockchains.
Governed by holders of the SUSHI token, the DAO oversees key protocol decisions, treasury allocation, and strategic upgrades. Day-to-day operations are executed by Sushi Labs, a core contributor group operating under the DAO’s mandate.
SushiSwap’s innovations include the Trident AMM architecture, the Route Processor for optimal trade routing, and an expanding suite of tools for DeFi developers. Its commitment to on-chain governance, composability, and interoperability continues to position SushiSwap as a foundational layer in the decentralized finance ecosystem.
