On <\/span>December 7<\/span><\/a>, Jared Grey, the CEO and \u201cHead Chef\u201d of SushiSwap, suggested that the DEX is burning through cash like there is no tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the <\/span>forum post<\/span><\/a> made by Grey, the DEX has, more or less, a year and a half in headroom which resulted in the exchange <\/span>enacting<\/span><\/a> a 100% allocation from fees on its staking token xSUSHI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This 100% allocation, however, is temporary until the DEX\u2019s situation improves or new tokenomics are enacted. Will this proposal be the answer to SushiSwap\u2019s urgent situation?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Grey\u2019s current <\/span>proposal<\/span><\/a>, if passed, is a technical undertaking for the DEX which could save it from its current state. According to the proposal, liquidity providers, or LPs, will receive a share of the 0.05 % swap fee on the ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n They can also lock their liquidity to earn emission-based rewards with a soft-lock system, meaning that they can pull their liquidity out before it reaches maturity but they lose their rewards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n xSUSHI rewards are also updated. The token would lose its previous cut on the fees and will be replaced with an emission-based rewards system. The soft-lock system will have differing rewards for different lock tiers. <\/span> The emission APY, according to the forum post, will be around 1-3% if instated. The new tokenomics would also introduce token burning in the form of buy backs of SUSHI and burning off the rewards if the locked liquidity or xSUSHI is pulled out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As I promised in Sunday’s tweet regarding Sushi’s Budget Snapshot for 2023, I am making the DAO operating costs public. Transparency is a critical component of a successful DAO. You can see most budget costs are salaries. 1\/ pic.twitter.com\/rVHXEJSfLR<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jared Grey (@jaredgrey) December 13, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Although the new tokenomics look sound, a comment on the<\/span> December 7<\/span><\/a> forum post shows something different. According to user <\/span>GoldenNaim<\/span><\/a>, the platform is currently using $4 million of the calculated $5 million operating budget for wages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is incredibly troubling as this only leaves the team a measly $1 million for making SushiSwap better through innovation. Jared Grey\u2019s reply to this is just:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYes, we need to pay people competitive wages to work at Sushi.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n But it seems that the proposed tokenomics has an effect on SUSHI\u2019s price. According to <\/span>CoinGecko<\/span><\/a>, SUSHI has jumped by 1.8% in the past 24 hours with the biggest rally in the weekly timeframe at 2.8%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nNew Year, New Tokenomics\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
