FAQ

Questions About How to Swap on SushiSwap

Does SushiSwap give better prices than Uniswap?
+
Sometimes. For tokens with more SushiSwap liquidity than Uniswap (particularly on some alternative chains), SushiSwap may give better prices. For most Ethereum mainnet blue-chip swaps, Uniswap V3 or V4 liquidity is deeper. Always compare when making large swaps.
What is the cheapest chain to use SushiSwap on?
+
Arbitrum and Base offer the lowest gas fees — typically under $0.10 per swap. Ethereum mainnet is most expensive ($5-15+ per transaction). Polygon is also low-cost. For most users, Arbitrum or Base is the optimal choice.
Can I swap tokens not in the default list?
+
Yes. Paste the token contract address into the search field on sushi.com to add any ERC-20 token (or equivalent on other chains). Verify the contract address from official sources before trading unfamiliar tokens.
Why is my SushiSwap swap failing?
+
Common causes: insufficient slippage tolerance (increase by 0.5% increments and retry), insufficient ETH/native token for gas fees, or token approval not yet confirmed. For new tokens, try up to 2% slippage.
Does SushiSwap have its own aggregator?
+
SushiSwap has routing logic that finds the best path within its own pools. For best prices across all protocols, use an aggregator like 1inch or Paraswap that includes SushiSwap as one source alongside others.
Reviews

What Traders Say

Arbitrum User
★★★★★

"SushiSwap on Arbitrum is my go-to for mid-cap tokens. The interface is clean, gas is negligible, and there are pools that Uniswap on Arbitrum doesn\'t have. The 40-chain presence is genuinely useful."

ETH Mainnet Trader
★★★★☆

"For major ETH pairs on mainnet, Uniswap V3 usually has better prices. But for tokens where Sushi has better liquidity depth, the interface is identical and the experience is just as good. Worth checking both."

Multichain Hopper
★★★★★

"The consistent interface across all chains is SushiSwap\'s underrated strength. Same mental model whether I\'m on Polygon, Base, or Avalanche. Less context switching than using chain-native DEXes everywhere."
