Christanto asserts the Yearn merger has given Sushi a newfound legitimacy, allowing the project to move past criticism of the projection that launched in Baronial as a clone of Uniswap and secured TVL early via a and so-called "vampire" liquidity attack.

In Nov, Sushi attracted further liquidity away from Uniswap by introducing yield farming rewards for pairings that had been previously incentivized past the leading DEX.

Christanto states Sushiswap "has put their by behind," with the platform at present consistently driving between $2 billion and $2.5 billion in liquidity and weekly volume. The analyst noted that Sushi has no venture majuscule backing, is community-driven, and "innovates quickly," final:

"SushiSwap is evolving from being an exchange to include lending, franchised liquidity pools, cross-chain integrations and a launchpad. Under #Yearn 's ecosystem, information technology'll do good from new network furnishings."

While Sushi's $ii.07 billion TVL equates to nearly two-thirds of Uniswap's $3.eighteen billion, Sushi's total cumulative user base of operations is equal to only eight% of Uniswap's. However, Uniswap'south first iteration launched in November 2018, meaning the platform had accrued a full user base of 225,000 before Sushi'south launch.
