As decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to expand across multiple chains and user segments, SushiSwap has unveiled its most ambitious upgrade yet: SushiSwap V2, also known as SushiXSwap V2. This next-generation platform redefines what it means to trade across blockchains, offering faster execution, broader token support, and seamless cross-chain functionality — all without sacrificing the core values of decentralization.
SushiSwap V2 is the upgraded version of Sushi’s cross-chain decentralized exchange (DEX), SushiXSwap. Originally launched in 2022, SushiXSwap pioneered native cross-chain token swaps. Now, V2 takes that foundation and expands it dramatically — supporting 14 blockchains, integrating advanced routing protocols, and delivering a smoother, more secure trading experience.
Cross-Chain Swaps: Trade assets across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and more — without bridging or wrapping.
Squid Router V2 Integration: Powered by Axelar, this protocol enables faster and more reliable cross-chain communication.
Expanded Token Access: Discover and trade tokens across emerging chains like Scroll, Linea, Fantom, Moonbeam, Celo, Filecoin, and Kava.
Streamlined Asset Consolidation: Easily move assets back to Ethereum or between chains for better portfolio management.
SushiSwap V2 isn’t just a technical upgrade — it’s a strategic leap forward for DeFi users who want speed, flexibility, and simplicity.
No Bridging Required: Sushi handles the backend complexity, so users can swap tokens across chains with a single click.
Faster Transactions: Squid V2 reduces latency and improves routing efficiency, making swaps quicker and more reliable.
Security Enhancements: SushiSwap now integrates De.Fi’s Crypto Antivirus API to detect honeypots, transfer locks, and malicious token behaviors.
Portfolio Visibility: Users can track assets across 30+ chains and protocols using Sushi’s analytics dashboard.
Early Access to New Tokens: Discover assets on emerging chains before they hit centralized exchanges.
Cross-Chain Arbitrage: Take advantage of price differences across networks.
Simplified Asset Management: Consolidate holdings from multiple chains into one wallet.
DeFi Exploration: Interact with new protocols and ecosystems without switching platforms.
SushiSwap V2 is just the beginning. The team plans to integrate more messaging protocols like Chainlink CCIP and Stargate, expand to non-EVM chains, and introduce new governance features for SUSHI token holders.
