About SushiSwap:
SushiSwap is an automated market maker. AMM’s are decentralized exchanges that use smart contracts to create markets for any given pair of tokens. SushiSwap launched in September 2020 as a fork of Uniswap, the AMM which has become synonymous with the DeFi movement and associated trading boom in DeFi tokens. Compared to Uniswap, SushiSwap adds additional features, such as increased rewards for network participants in the form of its in-house token - SUSHI.
About Polygon:
Polygon is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications. Polygon effectively transforms Ethereum into a full-fledged multi-chain system. The Layer 2 scaling solution utilizes the advantages of Ethereum’s security, vibrant ecosystem and openness, and enables faster transaction speeds and more transactions per block. Polygon boasts of up to 65,000 transactions per second on a single side chain, along with a respectable block confirmation time of less than two seconds.
