SUNSwap V3
Moderate risk — established Uni v3 fork with clean track record, but heavy USDT concentration and TRON ecosystem centralization around Justin Sun create outsized tail risks
Top Risks
1
TRON ecosystem concentration — all liquidity, governance, and operations depend on a single L1 controlled by Justin Sun
2
Concentrated liquidity amplifies impermanent loss for LPs during volatile periods, especially on low-liquidity TRON pairs
3
Stablecoin-heavy pool composition means USDT de-peg or regulatory action would cripple the majority of TVL
