SushiSwap Polygon - Exchange Review

SushiSwap Polygon AMM DEX on Polygon

Overview

SushiSwap Polygon is the Polygon-based deployment of SushiSwap's AMM DEX with concentrated liquidity, cross-chain reach, altcoin depth, yield farming and moderate current volume.

Same DeFi DEX, cooler address

SushiSwap began on Ethereum offering swaps, liquidity pooling, yield farming and governance via the SUSHI token. The Polygon deployment keeps the same model - decentralized, self-custodied - but with lower fees and faster confirmations for swaps and liquidity moves.

On-chain stats: modest but alive

Daily volume typically sits around $80k-$125k across roughly 47-59 markets and 16-20 coins. It is not a DeFi powerhouse, but activity is steady.

Fees and yield mechanics

Pool fees are split so that liquidity providers receive 0.25% while 0.05% is converted to SUSHI and routed to SUSHI stakers. The structure encourages both liquidity provision and governance participation.

Polygon benefits

Polygon's low gas and quick confirmations make SushiSwap accessible for smaller trades, frequent swaps and altcoin strategies that would be costly on Ethereum mainnet.

Strengths and weaknesses

StrengthsWeaknesses
  • Full SushiSwap feature set, cheaper and faster on Polygon.
  • Yield design rewards both LPs and SUSHI stakers.
  • Reasonable selection of markets in a low-gas environment.
  • Volume is modest - Polygon deployment remains niche.
  • Not a deep altcoin treasury compared to larger DEXs.
  • Smart contract and self-custody risks remain.

Final thoughts

If you use SushiSwap on Ethereum, Polygon delivers the same toolkit at friendlier costs - fast swaps, farms and governance without gas wars. It is not massive, but it is steady and practical for DeFi users who prefer lower fees.
