Observe the current situation of the Sui ecosystem from multiple perspectives

Nearly a month after the launch of the Sui mainnet, as a representative of the public chain based on the Move language and the high-profile Non-EVM Layer1 public chain, the current ecological status of Sui has sparked a lot of discussions. This paper will objectively analyze the current situation of the Sui ecosystem from the aspects of data, applications, and events.

First, the fundamentals of the Sui chain

1. Total liquidity of assets

The current Sui-on-chain TVL is $19.02m, with a peak of $36m over the past month. The largest application of TVL is the decentralized exchange Cetus, accounting for more than 65%, followed by Turbos. More than 60% of the TVL component is stablecoins.

The 7-day trading volume is at least $32.37M, ranking 20th among all public chains. The main transaction volume took place in Cetus.

2. Sui on-chain activity

7-day data:

• Total transactions: 1,129,884
• Total number of objects: 8.3 million+
• Daily active addresses: 22,000
• Total active addresses: 570,000

Recently, on-chain activity has been on a downward trend. The main activity fluctuations are related to ecological projects, IDOs, and DeFi activities.

3. $Sui liquidity situation

The current circulation of $Sui is approximately 528 million, with a staking volume of 7.29 billion. Although the circulation is valued at over $500 million in USD, it is not reflected in the TVL.

Most of the circulating supply is unstaked, with an estimated 4% or more in centralized exchanges. Only a small amount of $Sui is used for on-chain activities.

At present, the yield of node staking is less than 6%, which is not attractive to investors. At the same time, due to the lack of LST solutions, $Sui cannot be used as collateral to increase leverage on the chain to obtain higher returns.

4. cross-chain bridges

At present, only the Wormhole cross-chain bridge is available, which supports more than 10 types of assets across 7 chains. Due to technical reasons, stablecoin trading volume and minting volume data have not yet been released.

Second, the ecological situation of Sui

1. Main Ecological Projects

• DEX: Cetus is the backbone of the DeFi ecosystem on Sui, dominating in both TVL and trading volume.

• Machine Gun Pools: Mole supports single and dual coin machine gun pools, has leverage mining capabilities, and currently has a TVL of $180,000.

3. Suggestions for the Sui ecosystem

1. Lower the threshold for validators, open up liquid staking schemes, and improve the liquidity of on-chain assets

2. Increase cross-chain infrastructure and introduce more cross-chain bridges

3. Support the development of native stablecoins

4. Accelerate mobile wallet support

5. Improve data visualization capabilities and improve on-chain data display

6. Give developers more room to innovate and avoid excessive centralization

The Sui ecosystem is still in its early stages, and the above measures are expected to accelerate the development of the ecosystem and attract more users and developers to participate.
