The SushiSwap platform is an Ethereum-based decentralized exchange (DEX) that employs an automated market-maker (AMM) rather than a typical order-book to create a market. Rather than match individual buy and sell orders, SushiSwap users pool two assets providing increased liquidity for trading pairs (i.e., ETH/SUSHI). SushiSwap launched as a fork of Uniswap, but has developed into a more diversified, grassroots platform.
