Why Sushi Could Become One of the Largest DEXs Again Over the past month, Sushi’s trading volume on the Katana network hit $357 million—about $12 million per day on average. But this is just the beginning. Sushi’s integration with Katana has the potential to create a longterm growth engine for the protocol. The Bigger Picture: Agglayer’s Architecture To understand the opportunity, you need to look at Agglayer’s vision. Their goal is to build an appchain ecosystem, where 1 dApp = 1 appchain. This leads to a network of specialized chains, each laser-focused on its own business: - Wirex – payments - IoTeX – DePin - Sentient – AI - Billions – identity - and many more. These appchains don’t want to manage infrastructure outside their core focus. Instead, they’re willing to pay for modular, SaaS-style components - especially decentralized SaaS - so they can focus on their main product. Katana’s Role: Financial dSaaS @katana provides appchains with a decentralized financial module - and at the heart of that is a DEX. All financial flows on these networks will ultimately pass through it. This is where Sushi comes in. Because Sushi is one of Katana’s core dApps, every time an appchain needs to swap assets, @SushiSwap is the one doing the heavy lifting. Over time, this central role could drive massive growth in both Sushi’s volumes and revenues. A Simple Example: Payments - A user pays for a product in BTC on the Wirex appchain - Wirex, as a business, prefers to accept stablecoins - Wirex sends a request to Katana to swap BTC for USDC - Katana routes the trade to Sushi, which performs the swap - Katana sends the USDC back to Wirex This setup allows Wirex to accept any cryptocurrency from users, while always holding stablecoins for its operations. And every such transaction channels value through Sushi. The Network Effect That’s just one example—there could be thousands. The more appchains launch on the Polygon ecosystem, the more trading volume flows to Sushi. Given @0xPolygon's growing focus on payments, this could directly and significantly boost Sushi’s activity. Longterm, Katana could be for Sushi what Coinbase was for Aerodrome - a distribution powerhouse. As Web3 becomes increasingly business-oriented, distribution will be one of the most valuable advantages for protocols. Sushi is positioned right at the center of that shift. ================================ Follow on strong visioners and analysts: @0xBreadguy @alpha_pls @poopmandefi @TheDeFISaint @DoggfatherCrew @0xSalazar @DefiIgnas @Defi_Warhol @hmalviya9 @Mars_DeFi @rektdiomedes @eli5_defi @JayLovesPotato @Steve_4P @TheDeFinvestor @arndxt_xo @0xCheeezzyyyy @Moomsxxx
