SushiSwap is the multi-chain Uniswap fork that keeps going. Deployed on 30+ chains — the widest chain coverage of any DEX — plus BentoBox lending and Kashi. Not the volume leader on any single chain anymore, but a reliable fallback everywhere.
What SushiSwap is
SushiSwap started as a 2020 Uniswap V2 fork and evolved into a multi-product DeFi hub. Beyond the DEX, Sushi offers Trident (multi-AMM design), BentoBox (token vault framework), Kashi (isolated lending), Miso (launchpad), and more.
Where SushiSwap still matters
- Chain coverage: 30+ chains, more than any competitor
- The go-to fallback when Uniswap liquidity is thin on smaller chains
- SUSHI staking + xSUSHI for revenue share
Governance rocky history
SushiSwap's DAO has had public governance disputes over the years, culminating in leadership changes and treasury restructurings. This is a real caveat vs Uniswap's more stable governance.
Verdict
SushiSwap is DeFi's most-deployed DEX. Not the leader on any single chain but a reliable multi-chain fallback and the deepest venue on many secondary chains.
