SushiSwap launches automated stop-loss and take-profit orders on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and Katana

Decentralised exchange SushiSwap announced on June 25 the integration of a stop-loss and take-profit protocol powered by Orbs, enabling traders to automate risk management directly from its interface across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and Katana.

The feature, known as dSLTP, allows users to place conditional orders that execute automatically once predetermined price levels are reached.

The tool is now live for users trading on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and Katana, according to announcements from SushiSwap’s infrastructure partner Orbs.

The launch arrives at a time when crypto traders are increasingly demanding sophisticated execution strategies amid heightened market volatility, renewed institutional participation, and growing competition among decentralized exchanges.

DeFi seeks centralized exchange-level trading experience

Stop-loss and take-profit orders are widely used in traditional financial markets and centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, allowing traders to protect positions against sharp losses or secure gains without actively monitoring price movements.

Until now, such functionality has largely been absent from decentralized exchanges due to the challenges associated with executing conditional orders in a fully on-chain environment.

“Stop-loss and take-profit orders are among the most widely used tools in trading, yet they’ve largely been unavailable in a decentralized environment.”

Ran Hammer, Vice President of Business Development at Orbs.

Hammer added that by bringing dSLTP to SushiSwap, we’re giving traders the ability to automate risk management and execution without sacrificing the transparency and self-custody that make DeFi unique.

Unlike centralized exchanges that rely on custodial accounts and internal matching engines, dSLTP uses Orbs’ Layer-3 infrastructure to trigger transactions without requiring traders to relinquish control of their assets.

The protocol also eliminates dependence on centralized servers or off-chain execution systems.

The deployment expands SushiSwap’s existing relationship with Orbs, which already powers the decentralized exchange’s dLIMIT and dTWAP advanced order products.

Competition intensifies among decentralized exchanges

SushiSwap’s latest move reflects a broader trend across decentralized finance protocols seeking to attract more active traders by replicating tools traditionally reserved for professional trading platforms.

Orbs introduced dSLTP in late 2025 as part of its Advanced Orders Suite, positioning the protocol as one of the first decentralized implementations of stop-loss execution for automated market maker-based exchanges.

The company says the protocol relies on a decentralized network of validators operating continuously to monitor trigger conditions and execute trades when preset price thresholds are reached.

“Stop orders are essential tools for strategic trading, as they help protect investments by limiting potential losses through stop-loss orders and enable traders to capitalize on market breakouts with take-profit triggers.” Orbs said in its technical documentation.

The release also follows SushiSwap’s broader multichain expansion strategy.

Earlier this year, the decentralized exchange expanded access to the Solana ecosystem through an integration with Jupiter’s Ultra API, giving users exposure to Solana-based assets alongside cross-chain swapping capabilities.

Analysts say the introduction of advanced trading functionality could help decentralized exchanges retain users who often migrate to centralized venues during periods of heightened volatility due to superior execution tools.

Risk management gains prominence in volatile crypto markets

The integration comes amid growing recognition within the digital asset industry that execution strategies can significantly influence portfolio performance.

Academic research published in 2026 examining automated crypto trading systems found that exit strategies including stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms materially affect risk-adjusted returns.

For DeFi proponents, decentralized execution tools are increasingly viewed as critical infrastructure needed to support broader adoption among sophisticated traders and institutions wary of custodial risk following several high-profile exchange failures over recent years.

Whether SushiSwap’s latest feature will materially increase trading activity remains uncertain.

However, the move underscores an emerging competitive dynamic in decentralized finance: the race to deliver centralized exchange-grade functionality while preserving the transparency, composability and self-custody principles that underpin the DeFi ecosystem.
