The early part of 2021 was fantastic for Sushi, the team, the holders, and the community. We were leading the way with a number of innovative product releases and pulling off what felt like the impossible. However, we were plagued with consistent issues for most of the remaining year which hurt the morale of the team, trust was lost with the community, and productivity was at an all-time low. 2022 will be better. We have composed an ambitious roadmap of some of the key product releases, improvements, and ideas from the team that we'd like to tackle.
Three core overriding goals:
Scalability
Sustainability
Efficiency
Hybrid Exchange
Permissionless AMM is a great model, it works, it scales, but has its own trade-offs and drawbacks. Moving to a hybrid model which combines the benefits of a permissionless AMM, and of decentralized order books, both on and off-chain is the way forward. It unlocks a huge volume potential by capturing the positive flow from aggregators, by offering the best execution prices which by default incentivizes volume. Even more, can be done though. Utilizing abstractions of layers & networks, liquidity could be utilized cross-chain via various solutions such as Layer Zero, for example, to provide the lowest execution price no matter what network you live on. The same idea can be replicated among various products in the Sushi ecosystem.
