For this proposal to pass, it requires 35% quorum and 66.7% supermajority.

TL;DR

• Proposal to whitelist SushiSwap xSUSHI.
• Co-investment of 200,000 BNT.
• There are no apparent security concerns that would prohibit whitelist status.
• There is no reason to doubt the legitimacy of the SushiSwap project.
• The benefit to Bancor is clear. Interest in whitelisting xSUSHI came from the recent whitelisting of wstETH, which works in a similar manner to xSUSHI. Attracting volume from the SushiBar might bring Sushi users to Bancor as well as more fees and visibility to the protocol.

Token Security

xSUSHI is minted when SUSHI is deposited in the SushiBar. The xSUSHI contract is a standard OpenZeppelin ERC-20 contract. The contracts don't have any permissions that grant administrators unrestricted mint/burn capabilities.

xSushi doesn't have a supply cap but it's supply is limited to the capped-supply of SUSHI, thus no more than 250,000,000 xSUSHI can ever exist. The top 15 contracts and addresses with the highest concentration of SUSHI tokens are the token contract, the SushiBar contract, Binance, and several wallets. It should be noted that three private wallets in the top 5 holders collectively own approx. 16.48% of the xSUSHI tokens (Figure 2). Finally, being able to be used as a collateral on AAVE brings some confidence on the security of xSUSHI.

Project

SushiSwap (SUSHI) is an automated market maker, launched in September 2020 as a fork of Uniswap and aims to diversify the AMM market and also add additional features not previously present on Uniswap, such as increased rewards for network participants via its in-house token, SUSHI.

The platform takes a 0.3% cut from transactions occurring in its liquidity pools, while its SUSHI token is used to reward users portions of those fees. SUSHI also entitles users to governance rights.

Tokenomics

xSUSHI is a token similar to our SushiSwap's Liquidity Provider tokens, that you receive in exchange for staking SUSHI tokens in the Sushibar. While holding the token, it will appreciate in value, as fees from the SushiSwap exchange platform are "served to the Sushibar". The xSUSHI token is always worth more than a regular SUSHI token.

Community and Communication

SUSHI is active on Reddit and Discord. The SushiSwap team also operates official Twitter and Medium accounts. Github activity is frequent.

Available Audits

The xSUSHI ERC-20 token contract is a standard OpenZeppelin contract. SushiSwap contracts have been audited by Peckshield, Quantstamp and others.
