Swap safety

Is SushiSwap safe to use?

A trader wants to swap on SushiSwap. They search for it, click the first result, connect their wallet — and only later realise the site was a look-alike of sushi.com. The signature they approved wasn't a swap. It was a drainer. This exact pattern repeats thousands of times a month.

Is SushiSwap itself safe?

Yes — the real SushiSwap is a well-known DEX on multi-chain. The danger is almost never the protocol itself; it's fake copies of it and the signatures malicious sites ask you to approve. The only official domain is sushi.com.

The real risk: fake SushiSwap sites

Scammers clone the SushiSwap interface pixel-for-pixel on look-alike domains, then buy ads and post links so their fake ranks above the real one. Connecting a wallet there and signing hands an attacker control of your tokens.

How to use SushiSwap safely

  • Reach SushiSwap only from a bookmark of sushi.com — never from search ads or DMs.
  • Check the domain character by character; watch for extra words like “app-”, “-claim” or swapped letters.
  • Read every signature request. A swap is a swap — if it asks for setApprovalForAll or an unlimited approval you didn't expect, reject it.
  • Revoke old token approvals periodically.
  • Use a security extension that blocks fake SushiSwap domains and decodes signatures for you.

FAQ

Is sushi.com the real SushiSwap?

Yes, sushi.com is the official SushiSwap domain. Any other domain claiming to be SushiSwap should be treated as a phishing clone.

Can SushiSwap steal my funds?

The real SushiSwap protocol is non-custodial and cannot move your funds without your signature. The risk comes from fake copies and from signing malicious approval requests.

How do I know a SushiSwap site is fake?

Check the exact domain, look for bait words and look-alike letters, and never sign a request you don't understand. A security extension can flag clones automatically.
