SUSHI Token & Governance

SUSHI is SushiSwap’s ERC‑20 governance token, enabling holders to vote, stake, and earn protocol rewards :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}.

• Governance Voting: Holders vote on proposals (e.g., fees, deployments, upgrades) through DAO structures :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}.
• Staking (SushiBar / xSUSHI): Stake SUSHI to receive xSUSHI, earning buyback fees (0.05% of each swap) :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}.
• Liquidity Mining: LPs in select pools earn SUSHI incentives alongside trading fees :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}.
• Continuous Emissions: No hard cap; block rewards fund liquidity incentives and dev treasury; governed by community :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}.

SUSHI is now widely bridged across L2s and L1s, enabling cross-chain governance and value accrual :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}.

How to Provide Liquidity on V3

• Step 1: Connect Wallet: Use MetaMask, WalletConnect, or native wallet. Switch to supported network (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, etc.) :contentReference[oaicite:22]{index=22}.
• Step 2: Pick Pool: Choose a V3 pair and fee tier (0.01%–1%) suited to volatility :contentReference[oaicite:23]{index=23}.
• Step 3: Set Price Range: Use sliders or precision input. Narrow ranges give higher fee yield but require active range management :contentReference[oaicite:24]{index=24}.
• Step 4: Add Liquidity: Deposit required tokens (e.g., ETH + DAI), preview and approve the transaction :contentReference[oaicite:25]{index=25}.
• Step 5: Manage Position: Monitor “My Positions”; adjust range or withdraw anytime via UI :contentReference[oaicite:26]{index=26}.
• Optional: Use Smart Pools: Let Steer/Gamma V2 strategies auto-optimize positions for yield and risk mitigation :contentReference[oaicite:27]{index=27}.
