: : Korea’s Top Developers Are MOVing on to the Practical MOVE Stack
As a researcher, I’ve met countless Korean builders, and after giving a talk at the Nexon Developers Conference held last Wednesday, I can say with confidence that the biggest question among developers is: which ecosystem should I build in?
For Web2 developers, the most important thing is to provide new value without compromising the utility of existing services when introducing Web3. For example, if a game is already extremely fun, there’s no need to introduce Web3 - which means, if Web3 is to be introduced, it must offer additional value or enjoyment beyond what already exists.
Therefore, developers considering expanding their Web2 services into Web3 must evaluate infrastructure around the following three pillars:
1. "High Scalability" that can reliably handle the large volume of transactions generated by its service
2. "A Highly Expressive Tech Stack" that allows flexible design of onchain assets and interactions
3. "A Mature Infrastructure" with a strong user base and app ecosystem capable of generating synergies
Currently, smart contract platforms can largely be grouped into three execution environments: EVM, SVM, and MOVE.
Each has its own infrastructure technology, focusing domains, and strategic initiatives. Therefore, it is important for existing developers to thoroughly analyze these differences and strategically choose the ecosystem that best matches their service direction.
Ethereum, for example, pioneered the early smart contract ecosystem with accessible languages like Solidity and Vyper, and grew rapidly through various ERC standards.
However, since many of these standards are difficult to implement at the protocol level, they had to be implemented at the application level—resulting in fragmented implementations and difficulties in security and maintenance. Furthermore, since Ethereum was not designed with scalability as a priority, there are inevitable limitations to the richness of business logic that can be implemented through the EVM.
On the other hand, SVM and MOVE, represented by Solana(@solana) and Sui(@SuiNetwork) respectively, overcome many of these EVM limitations and are emerging as next-generation execution environments gaining attention from both retail and institutional participants - personally, I recommend Solana to builders targeting payment or institutional infrastructure, and Sui to app-centric builders due to its tech stack optimized for implementing a wide range of use cases.
Sui is a protocol developed by the core members of Meta(@Meta)’s blockchain project ‘Diem’, and every aspect—from language design to infrastructure architecture—has been meticulously optimized for all practical business logics. Thanks to this, Sui has been able to quickly implement standards that were difficult to realize in other protocols and is now recognized as one of the fastest-growing ecosystems.
In particular, Sui is boldly focusing on the gaming sector, where other protocols have repeatedly failed. In Q3, Sui is even preparing to distribute a dedicated gaming device called SuiPlay(@SuiPlay), which aggregates Sui's infrastructure innovations - multiple games utilizing Sui-native features are expected to become playable on this device.
In this context, more and more Korean builders are turning their attention to Sui.
First, we have OVERTAKE(@overtake_world), an onchain digital asset marketplace specialized in P2P trading of gaming assets.
OVERTAKE is being built on Sui based on the following strategy:
- Onboard Web2 user bases through an "onchain escrow system", leveraging years of experience operating P2P gaming asset platforms with tens of millions of dollars in annual volume
- Integrate direct interaction with in-game assets through connections with individual titles and publishers
- Ultimately evolve into a decentralized P2P asset trading protocol with modular APIs and SDKs that can be embedded into each game
In short, OVERTAKE aims to solve the limitations of the existing gaming asset trading environment, enabling safer and more efficient transactions. For users, it creates an environment where they can focus more on the fun of gameplay while realizing ownership rights. For developers, it provides a foundation for each game to secure IP scalability and sustainability through onchain integration.
(For a detailed overview of OVERTAKE, please look at:

#2: https://t.co/g8bQWDVzBj)
Second, we have OpenGraph (@OpenGraph_Labs) team under KAIST, building a Validation Layer for AI/ML that won first place in a Sui hackathon. They are creating “Only Possible on Sui” use cases using Sui’s unique feature: PTB (Programmable Transaction Blocks), which enables multiple logical operations within a single transaction.
OpenGraph is leveraging a core SDK called TensorFlowSui, which allows all ML models to be represented onchain as graph states. This enables the implementation of explainable and trustworthy AI models, unlocking a wide range of advanced AI use cases.
(For more on OpenGraph’s initiative please refer to:

Additionally, Korean teams such as Mizupay, @exclusive_sui, and @zktx_io have shown meaningful results using Sui-native stacks at the Sui Overflow 2025 event.

The claim that “there are no builders in Korea” is simply not true. Developer-centered, cohesive organizations like @SuiDevGroup and @Orakle_KAIST have always existed. The only thing that was missing was a truly developer-friendly stack.
Moreover, with Korea beginning discussions on KRW-backed stablecoins, the Korean builders are accelerating their study and adoption of practical blockchain infrastructure.
Of course, practicality is not the only value blockchain has to offer—but from a business adoption standpoint, I believe it is one of the most essential. In that regard, I see Sui and its MOVE stack as an exceptionally strong choice.
As a researcher, researching Sui is always a joy. I'll continue to explore practical use cases and highlight other examples of MOVE adoption further—not just for Korean builders, but for global ones as well.
Lastly, here I attach the Sui Mega Report by @Steve_4P, which has been instrumental in spreading deep insights and rich materials on Sui throughout Korea:

All Korean teams placed in the TOP 3 of their categories at the @SuiNetwork Overflow Hackathon.
Despite trailing slightly in public voting, all teams ended up winning in the final judging — once again proving the strength of Korean builders in the Sui ecosystem.
Here are the winning teams:
AI 2nd: Opengraph(@OpenGraph_Labs)

Had an offline meetup today — it's been a while!
One builder is translating the Sui Move Book into Korean, and Sui Overflow teams are still improving their products.
Korean builders keep building 🚀🇰🇷
#SuiDevelopersGroup#SuiOverflow25
Always interesting listening to the fellas from @Mysten_Labs explain why @SuiNetwork tek is so far ahead of the pack. Cheers and welcome to Korea @nikos_sui@a_xydas@theharrisonkim 🇰🇷
I'm not a dev myself but after hearing how the @Mysten_Labs have a built a no-compromise confidential computing stack in @WalrusProtocol, Seal and Nautilus, I'm looking forward to seeing the kinds of use cases that could come out of it.
Great to also finally meet up with CT frens @NickCryptoDope and @claireorlarice! 🫶 Also enjoyed chatting with @jjonlydown about his role in the region.
Thanks also to @Orakle_KAIST for putting this event together – venue was perfect, food was on point and everything flowed.
💧 @SuiNetwork-coded.
Big thanks to the 🇰🇷 builders for the warm welcome and great vibes.
Loved sharing some of the latest from Mysten — @WalrusProtocol , Seal, Nautilus... just the beginning 🧱💧
The @SuiNetwork Overflow Hackathon voting(https://t.co/2XGW7WMpOM) is currently underway, and many Korean builders are participating with great passion.
As a fellow Korean, I believe it’s meaningful to support local projects—so I’d like to take a moment to highlight a few standout Korean teams competing this round.
Here are four notable projects led by Korean teams. If you find them interesting, consider casting a vote to support them!
1. OpenGraph — Infrastructure for Physical AI on Sui.
OpenGraph is building a verification infrastructure for physical AI. They previously won 1st place at the Sui Basecamp Hackathon, and their latest project for Overflow is a platform for data labeling.
This team is particularly fast at picking up and applying cutting-edge Sui technologies like SEAL and Nautilus, and I’ve personally had many great conversations with them. What excites me most is that they’re not just focused on building their product—they’re constantly exploring “features only possible on Sui.” They’re the kind of team that makes me want to collaborate on content about Sui.

2. Exclusuive — Simplifying NFT Creation and Management
Created by BlockBlock, the blockchain club at Yonsei University, Exclusuive is a platform that streamlines NFT customization and management. It aims to lower the technical barrier for creating and managing NFTs on Sui.
With the rise of generative AI, it’s easier than ever to create art. Tools like Exclusuive could help bring a wider variety of NFT collections to life—making it more accessible and fun for everyone.

3. Sui Provenance Suite — Infrastructure for App Verification
This project stands out as a rare infrastructure tool in the Sui ecosystem. The Sui Provenance Suite allows users to verify whether a blockchain app is safe by tracking and validating the code deployment process in real time.
Much like Exclusuive, it’s user-friendly—even for those without coding experience. Just enter the app address at https://t.co/O8I0otHJHK to get a safety check.

4. MizuPay — Bitcoin-Collateralized Stablecoin on Sui
MizuPay is a DeFi protocol that enables the issuance of a Bitcoin-collateralized stablecoin on Sui. With Sui actively seeking to bring in more BTC liquidity, this project is perfectly aligned with the ecosystem’s current goals.
Their stablecoin, mzUSD, is overcollateralized and can be staked to generate yield. That said, the ticker “mz” might be a bit quirky—but perhaps that’s part of its charm!

I voted for all four of these teams.
Even though the Korean developer community around Sui isn’t fully active yet, the fact that we’ve already seen a team win 1st place at a previous hackathon—and now have four Korean teams participating in this Overflow Hackathon—is incredibly encouraging. I believe much of this success can be attributed to @theharrisonkim, the DevRel from the @SuiFoundation. He has been outstanding not only in his capabilities as a developer advocate but also in his character. It’s truly rewarding to see the seeds he planted now bearing fruit in such a meaningful way.
To all Korean builders working within the Sui ecosystem—if there’s ever anything I can help with, I’ll always be more than happy to support you. (non-Korean teams too)
