Token Security

SUSHI does not have an elastic supply, or rebase mechanism. The SUSHI ERC-20 contracts do not have permissions that grant administrators unrestricted mint/burn capabilities.

SUSHI is a capped-supply token with a total supply of 250,000,000 tokens and circulating supply of 127,244,443 SUSHI. The top 15 contracts and addresses with the highest concentration of SUSHI tokens are the token vesting contracts, Binance, Houbi and OKEx.

Project

SushiSwap (SUSHI) is an automated market maker, launched in September 2020 as a fork of Uniswap and aims to diversify the AMM market and also add additional features not previously present on Uniswap, such as increased rewards for network participants via its in-house token, SUSHI.

The platform takes a 0.3% cut from transactions occurring in its liquidity pools, while its SUSHI token is used to reward users portions of those fees. SUSHI also entitles users to governance rights.

Tokenomics

SUSHI is a governance token that enables community governance over the Sushi ecosystem. This means that SUSHI holders can use their tokens to vote for platform proposals to further ecosystem initiatives.

The SUSHI token can be farmed by participating in the yield farming program on sushi.com.

The SUSHI token may also be staked across various platforms such as Sushi’s very own, SushiBar, or can be used as collateral on platforms such as Sushi’s Yearn ecosystem partner, Aave. When SUSHI tokens are staked, users receive xSUSHI in return. xSUSHI holders receive 0.05% of each and every swap completed on sushi.com!

Community and Communication

SUSHI is active on Reddit and Discord. The SushiSwap team also operates official Twitter and Medium accounts. Github activity is frequent.

Available Audits

The SUSHI ERC-20 token contract is a standard OpenZeppelin contract. The SUSHI contracts have been audited by Peckshield, Quantstamp and others.

Like 1INCH, this is an obvious addition. We should have every relevant ETH token on Bancor and this is about as safe as it gets.

I’m not sure. Won’t Sushi holders just stake on Bancor for fees but trade on Sushi?

Some might, but to LP here exposes them to Bancor and some may stay. It’s in our best interest to be a one-stop-shop which means having every token available. The LM rewards for UNI were not helpful so I oppose that for Sushi as well but it costs us little to coinvest with a token like Sushi.

As a huge supporter of both projects, I approve. Just not sure sure how much LP we will get. My Sushi is staked in the bar, and not sure I will move it over, so I am torn on how liquid this will really get. LM may end up attracting more liquidity, so I would be in favor a 12 weeks LM period too (like we did UNI). In the long run, I’d like to see more collaboration with the SUSHI community. Feel like there is a lot of great synergies between the two projects.

This is the reason that led me to draft the proposal.

Definitely agree, we shouldn’t look at competitors with a “us vs them” mentality. Collaboration and competition are healthy for the crypto space.
