1/ Some of you are wondering why $SUSHI has been pumping.
Sushiswap? Wasn't that the dead $UNI fork that got hacked by the founder 2 months ago?
Surprisingly, $SUSHI never left. Instead - it has silently been building in the background.
Let me break it down for you

2/ $SUSHI's dark horse narrative comprises of 3 main elements:
1. Market proven product yielding stable cashflows
2. Product releases with strong USP factor
3. Near term catalyst
Together, they construct a powerful narrative for Sushiswap's recovery - and why its far from over

3/ Background
After the initial Sushi hype faded (when 10x rewards expired in mid Sep), TVL and Daily traded volume on Sushiswap collapsed.
Nobody thought a fork with no USP could last.
Throw in a $15m ETH scandal by the founder it looked like the end.

4/ Product
Since then, Sushiswap's numbers have been surprising.
After bottoming out at $250m TVL and $10mm Daily Traded Volume, momentum has picked up once more.
And this is despite emissions being reduced a further 20%

5/ Product
The most astounding thing to me is that Sushiswap has already implemented Uniswap's target business model.
5bps of all traded volume goes to xSushi stakers generating ~14% APY.
This will soon be paid in DAI.

6/ Product
This is important because:
A) There is a clear link between platform value capture and token value accrual
B) This is non-subsidized (no ponzinomics here)
C) Actual dividends in stablecoins reduce volatility of returns (you don't need to form a view on Sushi's price)

7/ USP
On top of an exchange that has found product-market fit, new follow-on products are about to be released:
1. Bentobox (Margin trading any alt pairs)
2. Gusoku (IL protection)
3. MISO (Sushi Launchpad)
Of the 3, Bentobox has to be the one I'm looking out for.

8/ Bentobox
Leveraged trading altpairs (on Sushiswap) are something degens will appreciate.
Thankfully 90% of crypto are complete degens so this will fit right in. This will boost fees earnt on Sushiswap tremendously.
Currently in final stages of development + pending audit

9/ Catalyst
Obviously everyone is anticipating $UNI farming ending.
In my earlier thread I explored reasons why funds may leave Uniswap.
I think its very likely a large chunk moves to Sushiswap.

USDT: 31% (23% on Uni)
USDC: 36% (21% on Uni)

11/ Team
@0xMaki and team have done a phenomenal job since assuming control of Sushi in Sep. They have been building in silence and the fruits of their labor are about to show.
@FUTURE_FUND_ captures this well here:

12/ Conclusion
Everything comes together in a perfect storm for $SUSHI.
They are proving that community driven forks can successfully compete vs incumbents through carving out their own separate niches in the space.
I can't wait to see how they continue to grow in the future.
