In 2022, Sushi pioneered cross-chain swaps via LayerZero's Stargate, bridging liquidity and users across networks and fostering user cross-pollination within ecosystems. This first-of-its-kind capability in DeFi enables seamless asset transactions and liquidity provisions across multiple networks, enhancing user migration pathways to OP/Base from platforms like Ethereum Mainnet and Arbitrum. As an early Base protocol adopter, Sushiswap accounts for over 15% of Base's trade volume, affirming its role as a crucial liquidity nexus. This grant aims to fortify Sushi's position within the OP Stack, leveraging revamped tokenomics and robust liquidity incentives to optimize our offerings and user engagement, aligning with our extensive network that has facilitated over $268B in trades.
