About SushiSwap
The SushiSwap platform is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on Ethereum that uses an automated market-maker (AMM) rather than a traditional order-book to facilitate trades. Instead of matching individual buy and sell orders, users pool two assets to provide more liquidity for trading pairs (i.e., ETH/SUSHI). SushiSwap began as a fork of Uniswap, but has since evolved into a more diversified, grassroots alternative.
SUSHI is an ERC-20 governance token associated with the SushiSwap decentralized finance (DeFi) platform.
