What is Sushi (SUSHI)

1. Project Introduction
Sushi is a decentralized exchange (DEX) designed to serve as a one-stop shop for all DeFi needs. Users can trade directly from their preferred crypto wallets, bypassing centralized intermediaries. With over 11,700 trading pairs, Sushi now supports cross-chain swaps across 10 networks via SushiXSwap. In addition to trading, users can engage in yield farming, streaming payments, and token locking. Sushi is a fully open-source, community-driven platform governed by $SUSHI holders, who vote on major decisions. The core team oversees daily operations, liquidity pool rebalancing, strategic initiatives, and product development.
Summary: Sushi delivers a full suite of DeFi services—from trading to yield optimization—under a decentralized governance model powered by $SUSHI, enabling innovation and transparency.
