Yearn Partner Roundup #10

Week Ending March 21, 2021

Welcome to the Yearn Partner Roundup — a weekly newsletter summarizing everything in Yearn’s partner ecosystems.

🍣 SushiSwap Summary

SushiSwap is an automated market maker (AMM) decentralized exchange (DEX). Link.

• Community Greenlight Poll — xSUSHI (Sushibar). This Maker poll asks whether the asset xSUSHI (Sushibar) should be prioritized for inclusion in the Maker Protocol by the domain teams. Voting ends in ~10 days.
• SushiSwap Planning to Launch on Avalanche. Announced on March 15, SushiSwap plans to expand to Avalanche, “offering users another high-quality trading venue in Avalanche’s rapidly growing decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.”
• 🍱 Kashi Lending coming soon. Kashi is a risk isolated lending pair solution. Existing solutions allow users to supply a variety of collateral assets and borrow another set of assets — if one of the assets were to drop in price faster than liquidators can react, every user and every asset is affected. Instead, Kashi allows anyone to create a new pair similar to how anyone can create a SushiSwap pair.
