Liquidity providers deposit funds into Sushiswap and receive trading fees from traders (supply-side fees).

Sushiswap is a non-custodial exchange protocol built on Ethereum (originally a fork of Uniswap). Sushiswap was founded by a pseudonym Chef Nomi and launched in 2020.

SUSHI tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total trading fees paid by traders (revenue).

# SushiSwap Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

SushiSwap's maximum token supply metric represents the predetermined maximum number of SUSHI tokens that can ever exist according to the protocol's tokenomics. This is a static configuration metric set to 250 million tokens, established at the token's launch on August 28, 2020. Unlike circulating or total supply metrics that change based on blockchain activity, the maximum supply is a protocol-level constant that defines the upper bound for SUSHI token issuance.

## 2. Data sources

This metric does not derive from blockchain transaction data but rather from protocol specifications:
- **Protocol tokenomics documentation**: The predetermined maximum supply limit established in SushiSwap's token design
- **Token launch specifications**: The official launch date and initial tokenomics parameters
- **Smart contract parameters**: The hardcoded maximum supply value embedded in the protocol's design

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Maximum supply configuration
- **Purpose**: Establishes the fixed maximum token supply value and temporal parameters
- **Logic**: Sets three key parameters: the token launch timestamp as August 28, 2020 at 00:00:00 UTC, the reporting grain as daily intervals, and the maximum token supply as exactly 250,000,000 SUSHI tokens. This represents the absolute ceiling for token issuance as defined in the protocol's tokenomics
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (launch date), `timestamp_grain` (daily), `token_supply_maximum` (250 million tokens)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: No combination needed as this is a single static value
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable - this metric represents token quantity, not monetary value
- **Time aggregation**: The finalize macro applies a fill-forward strategy, meaning the same maximum supply value (250 million tokens) is reported for every day from the launch date forward
- **Final calculation**: The metric value remains constant at 250,000,000 tokens for all time periods, representing the unchanging maximum supply limit established in SushiSwap's tokenomics design
