  • So what is a vampire attack? And how was SushiSwap able to use a vampire attack to attract over $1B of liquidity in less than a week? You’ll find answers to these questions in this video.
    On the 28th of August in the midst of new DeFi projects popping up pretty much every day, a new project called SushiSwap launched. The project quickly gained more and more traction in the DeFi community as it aimed at directly competing with Uniswap by forking the project and siphoning out liquidity with a process later called a vampire attack. The main goal of the project was to create a community-governed automated market maker and fairly distribute its token - SUSHI.
    The concept of a vampire attack, although quite simple, is quite ingenious in its nature as it creates very strong incentives for liquidity providers to migrate their liquidity to a new platform. Let’s see what a vampire attack is all about.

    Great explanation. New defi coins are full of unexpected events because they're incomplete projects that offer promises for your money. If it's new and not audited, you better research the hell out of it before investing.

    Sushi wasn't an experiment although we have learned from it. It was a scam by chef nomi to get rich. He was a vampire of the entire ecosystem he built. Anyone that thinks he was actually sorry for dumping on his entire user based is naive. He's a scammer pure and simple. That said, we've got 15-20 new swap DEX about to launch, and 80% of them are better than sushi and uni. So no, no one will stay with sushi. There's no reason to do so.

    I think this should be made illegal (Vampire Attacks). these protocols are open sourced for building trust, not so you can fork one and siphon money into your project. It makes rug-pull scams so much easier to pull-off.

  • @gaboqv

    I don't understand very well the concept of the vampire attack, basically the copied the whole code and incentivized everyone to switch to uni, but did they use any sophisticated code to start buying tokens from uniswap?? seems like just a copy paste and trying to lure people into their product.
