$251B+ cumulative volume, 40+ chains, xSUSHI revenue sharing, SushiXSwap cross-chain without a bridge — SushiSwap is DeFi\'s most battle-tested multichain exchange.
SushiSwap launched in August 2020 as a fork of Uniswap, and became one of DeFi's most influential protocols — pioneering community governance, liquidity mining incentives, and the xSUSHI revenue-sharing model that many protocols have since copied. Today SushiSwap runs on 40+ blockchains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, and more, with $251B+ in cumulative trading volume.
While SushiSwap's TVL (~$38-48M) is a fraction of its 2021 peak ($5B+), the protocol has adapted: V3 concentrated liquidity, SushiXSwap for bridgeless cross-chain swaps, Kanpai 2.0 fee distribution, and integration with Katana (the Ronin DEX) demonstrate active development. The xSUSHI staking model — where 0.05% of every swap on every chain flows to xSUSHI holders — remains one of DeFi's most straightforward revenue-sharing mechanisms.

Open SushiSwap →"SushiSwap\'s 2020-2021 era shaped modern DeFi governance. xSUSHI was the blueprint for protocol revenue sharing. The current TVL doesn\'t reflect the protocol\'s historical significance or its ongoing 40-chain operation."
"The xSUSHI model works exactly as described — stake SUSHI, earn a cut of every swap on 40+ chains. Returns are modest but genuine. Useful for SUSHI holders who believe in the protocol long-term."
"SushiSwap\'s 40-chain coverage is genuinely useful. I use it for chains where Uniswap doesn\'t have deep liquidity. SushiXSwap for cross-chain without a bridge is a real differentiator."
