SushiSwap’s newly appointed CEO, Jared Gray, has introduced an innovative proposal to overhaul the token economics model, aimed at ensuring the platform’s long-term success and growth. The proposal addresses key challenges within the current model and presents creative solutions, with a focus on enhancing sustainability and diversifying revenue sources. Key components of the plan include primary revenue from trading fees, income from the Aggregation Router, potential staking rewards, and strategic partnerships.

  4. LP Incentives: Recalibrating incentives for Liquidity Providers.

  5. Staking Enhancements: Considering a revision to better serve participants.

  6. xSushi Distribution: Aligning it with the original intent for a fairer value distribution.
