SushiSwap is a fork of Uniswap with a native governance token ($SUSHI) and a changed reward distribution mechanism. In Uniswap, LPs earn 0.3% of the transaction fee, while in Sushiswap LPs will earn 0.25% of the fee, with the remaining 0.05% being allocated to SUSHI holders. The aim is to incentivise early stage liquidity providers and provide an additional incentive to bootstrap the pool. In Uniswap, LPs earn a fee whenever liquidity is provided. Sushiswap aims to add a more passive form of income, with early LPs benefiting from the future traction of the agreement through SUSHI and a 0.05% fee.
