An OKEx blog post, featuring an interview with SushiPRO Creator, Golden Naim, delves into the developer’s reasoning behind the professional iteration of the popular Defi DApp, Sushi Swap. He also shares his vision for upcoming Sushi platform User Interface (UI) upgrades, directed at attracting more sophisticated traders.
Digital exchange platform, OKEx, in the latest edition to an ongoing series of interviews featuring members of the team behind popular Defi exchange platform, Sushi Swap, had a sit down with the brains behind the platform’s more mainstream presentation, SushiPRO, French developer, Golden Naim. In the blog post, titled: Inside The Chef’s Jacket: Why SUSHI is Off The Charts with sushiPRO Creator, Golden Naim, the Sushi team member shares insight into the next logical step in the evolution of Defi, as well as the inner workings of a decentralized organization.
Naim, who heads up Sushi’s trading department, in addition to overseeing the maintenance of the SushiPRO UI, and running the Sushi Vesting platform analytics reports, joined the team when his proposal for a the more user-friendly, and trader familiar, SushiPRO, user interface experienced massive support from Sushi Swap patrons. He sites the inspiration for SushiPRO interface being the fact that Defi platforms lacked charts. Going on the hunch that the lack of the ability to chart, possibly kept a large number of usersout of Defi, Naim shifted his efforts into solving the issue.
Golden Naim On Working For A Decentralized Organization
Having begun his professional career as an entrepreneur, Golden Naim admits to being wary of working under a superior, but found that that wouldn’t really be the case, working for Team Sushi. Instead, he has the freedom to work on projects he believes would best benefit the platform, the French national attests to finding Sushi’s work culture quite communal.
On The Future Of Sushi
“At first, I didn’t really want to work for Sushi, because it’s not in my personality to have a boss, but I’ve grown to love it because the boss is the community, the client is the community and, so, they are such a strong motivator for us, and for myself, to work hard. Because of this, I will never regret working for Sushi, because it’s the greatest learning experience, working with a team like this and working for a community like this and I learn more and more every day.”
Golden Naim
As somebody who was initially sceptical of Sushi – it, being a Uniswap fork, and what have you? – Naim is quite bullish, regarding the Defi platform’s prospects. “For me, Sushi has built something very, very big” states the developer, “as someone who was there for Uniswap’s beginning, I can confidently say that it’s not like Uniswap, despite what people may say. What Sushi has done is huge; We have the DEX, we have Kashi and BentoBox now and even more platform features to come.”
He appears to have his sights set on positioning Sushi as the go-to Defi exchange platform; for this to occur, he believes more sophisticated, trader-friendly analytical tools need to be introduced to the platform. From his trading experience, he sees market charts as the key to growing user volume.
I was a full-time trader and I know that if we want to keep people on the Sushi page, we must have the charts. If you have that information you can stay for five hours non-stop on the platform. Even if users just sit and watch the price for quite some time, at some point they will buy or sell, same as with Binance, and same as with sushiPRO; I see the analytics and see that this is necessary.”
Golden Naim, once more.
Naim is of the opinion that, as a Defi token farming platform, Sushi is the gold standard, but not so much for traders. Offering charts, he believes, may be the key differentiator that pulls users away from competitor platforms to the Sushi Swap exchange. “If we are to consider ourselves a DEX, we need to have trader’s figures. If you look at our analytics, specifically at the amount and type of users, you see that we have a huge potential to grow. The competition with Uniswap, Pancakeswap” states the Sushi developer.
He goes on to state that Sushi Swap stands a chance of becoming the “Binance” of Defi DEX’s. A first mover advantage in the trading analytics department, he reckons, is key to that achievement.
On Charts In Crypto
When asked whether one can truly rely on crypto charts, or not, Naim summarily addressed the haters, stating quite matter-of-factly, “I am still a moderator on TradingView, so yeah, I trust charts, whether it be in traditional financial markets or newer ones.”
“What is interesting about the charts, is that although you can 100% predict the future, you can try to predict the movements. If you want a price to explode, you must have a lot of buyers, a lot of cash inflow, but if you don’t have these buyers, you can know that the price will or should crash. You won’t know exactly when, all you know is that it will happen soon.”
No need to state it, is there?
In Closing
No telling, whether or not, market analytics will be added to the Sushi Swap, but one can already tell what impact that would have on user numbers. As it stands, SushiPRO is seeing use from a number of big pocket users; charts added as a standard feature to Sushi user interface may be a boon for the platform’s trading volumes. Any Defi platform gaining a first-mover advantage, in this particular field, may truly emerge as leader of the pack.
